this is depressing. skip to around 1:46 to see JoJo of the r&b group Jodeci collapse in an apparently alcohol/drug addled stupor while performing a show in australia. a) performing? b) australia?
according to his brother/bandmate K-Ci, JoJo was just exhausted and has epilepsy, but that’s hard to believe. read about it on Dlisted, which explains it better than i ever could.
this is sad because Jodeci was one of my favs in junior high. not only did i love “all my life”, which they are playing when the train wreck begins on this video, but their song “lately” is a really beautiful song, and was one of my all time songs to get emo over.
then, at the eighth grade dance, it played, and i asked michael dondanville to dance with me to it. he said no and was a total jerk about it, until i grabbed his arm and made him. that was my first slow dance. sad.
years later, he would become a dear friend and a HUGE FLAMING FAG, which makes me feel a little better. but just a little.
oh lordy….. i can’t believe you’re talking about your eighth grade dance!! that’s okay…. chris hernandez asked me to slow dance at ours and i was confused because he was always a jerk to me. i don’t know if he’s a flaming homo, but it would be delicious if he was.
