Associated Press is reporting that John Ritter of 3's Company & 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter fame and country legend Johnny Cash both passed away today. Although I wasn't a huge fan of either, I had a great respect for both. RIP, guys!

Yeah, Warren and Johnny. Not a good week for musicians.
And it's shocking when the stars of shows you watched as a kid start dying, even though it is too early.
ABC news.com has already named today (9-12-03) "Black Friday".
I wonder if they're havin' a drink together up in Heaven?
Interesting question. I wonder if alcoholics can drink in Heaven?
sad day :(
Yes a very sad day but it does have a bright side.
Callysto (my wife) delivered a beautiful 7lbs 4oz girl today
My hope is a little of the talent of both of this entertainment giants trickels down from heaven to her
Congratulations!
Nice to hear some good news.
Hope Mom & daughter (name?) are doing well.
Also, fans of more offbeat music will be saddened to know that it was just announced that Shooby Taylor, the Human Horn, died in June. If you haven't heard any of his stuff, check out http://www.shooby.com-- it's indescribably weird and hilarious.
RIP John, Johnny, and Shooby, and congrats to Erik and Cally!
Johhny Cash isn't a surprise, but John Ritter wasn't that old...
John was 54 the radio said, some freakundiagnosed heart problem. Johnny Cash was 71, but he looked much more worn than that. It doesn't seem to be a good year for entertainers does it?
RIP, Clifford The Big Red Dog!
Both Callysto and Ayngela are doing great
Congrats Erik! Mr.Cash made it cool too like country music,his at least.John Ritter was a very talented guy,I will miss them both! What a drag it is getting old!!
Ritter wasnt that old.
It isn't a drag getting old....
It's a drag to die!
This year has been pretty bad for celebrities and we still have 3 1/2 months to go. Here's a list of who has passed away:

Doesn't list everyone, since I don't see Warren Zevon on there. Hope they are all doing good in the afterlife.
Does anyone remember the movie Jonny was in? With Kirk Douglas, i think. They played Gunfighters, two old guys, who were payed to have a lethal last shootout in an arena in some Mexican town.
Any one remember that?
Congradluations ErikJ , and I was a big fan of John Ritter , Jack Tripper man what a dork but cool character, I just heard it before dinner. I was watching TVLand and suddenly it show scenes of John Ritter and it says (can't remeber birth date but)-2003 and I turned to my friend and yell "JOHN RITTERS DEAD!!!" and he say "Yeah he died yesterday filming 8 simple Rules" RIP John Ritter ,you played cool dorks.
