“And yes before some social media trolls get their panties in a bundle, I’m aware that we’ve also lost over 700,000 people due to Covid-19 as well as all of the Millions of non-celebrities that have passed away this year as well…I’m aware they are people too and just as important…but I just wanted to take a moment to pay tribute and thank the people who’s lives have effected me *personally*…(only a portion of this list is represented in the photo)

“RIP, Neil Peart, Pete Way, Paul Chapman, Emmit Rhodes, Adam Schlesinger, Sean Reinert, Reed Mullin, Bob Kulick, Steve Priest, Peter Green, Martin Birch, Alan Parker, Kobe Bryant, Fred Willard, Kelly Preston, Holly Lane, Vinnie Kowalski, Amie Harwick, Joel Schumacher, Little Richard, Bill Withers, John Lewis, Regis Philbin, John Saxon, Jerry Stiller, Kirk Douglas, Max Von Sydow, James Lipton, Buck Henry, Kenny Rogers, Charlie Daniels, Ennio Morricone, Carl Reiner, and Terry Jones. Can we take the rest of the year off please?”
