Ok. At the risk of sounding sacrilegious Wink

I'm now realizing that Conaway. especially with his long hair in Taxi, reminded me somewhat of Keith. His rather angular features and his mouth.....he was pretty cool in that show.

I used to work {by phone, not in person} with Tony Danza's late mother. She sent some of us at the office the first 8x10 glossies that Tony had made, right before Taxi premiered. At the time, none of us had any idea that the show would go on to be a classic, and that Tony would have a long and profitable stint in the biz.

She told us about the time that the limo showed up to take Tony to his first Tonight Show appearance. BTW, his real name is Iadanza...

Jeff Conway was such a bright star once upon a time...not long ago...and to go this way is fucking sad. He was Travolta's peer in the 1970s...he was great in Taxi...and how did it all come apart....fucking sad.

Don't we all make decisions in life. My wife and I were just talking about this, a good guy who got wrapped up in demons. Many artistic people tend to "lose themselves" with bad habits. Man, do you or have you ever been in the public spotlight?? Do you know how hard that is? Sure it must be glamorous at first, but if you're not the type of person who is narcissistic, it is hell on earth.

You go to buy some milk, gas, a burger, take a piss...and it's "Hey Booby Wheeler, what's up dude??" It must suck, drugs ease that pain, I'm not saying it's right, but it's the only place one seems to go to feel comfortable.

It is very sad when anyone we don't know, but know, seems to go down the path he is. I pray he makes a miraculous recovery, I also pray that his soul goes where it's destined.

I think calling him a waster is a bit harsh. Unless you're Mother Teresa...especially considering what board we are on. Then aren't we and The Stones all fuckin' wasters?

That is awful if it's true. From the surface, it sounds like this gal is bad news for him. Go back to her, go back to the life, go back to the drugs.

I hope he somehow pulls through and lives the rest of his life in peace and wellness.
