Stop glorifying this junky. He had everything, and threw it away because of an ego the size of Manhattan. I'm tired of hearing about his wonderful penchant for benders at $450 an night hotels. The sad, wealthy, eccentric Baudelaire. You'd think with the downfall of our economy (both nation and Art World) we would have woken up to the effects of this kind of waste. Where's the violins for other young kids of rich parents who are out there using their family money to do something beneficial for people? Sure it's sad, but the disproportionate level of attention his death has received is sadder. Devote, instead, some of this press to people more deserving.

Though I won't go so far as "get real" above in my condemnation, I do feel that dash snow has always commanded more attention than he deserves. His popularity seemed to be more of a lucky confluence of wealth, family heritage, and unique name than of one earned through his own efforts. If any one of those elements had been removed he likely would have never been taken seriously by or even been known by the art world.
