This sucks.

I really liked Anthony Bourdain.

I also liked Anthony Bourdain. He has done the best travelogue on Trinidad & Tobago so far. Where other travelers only visited the capital, Port Of Spain, he ventured into nether regions such as Mayaro, San Fernando, Rio Claro and others. I also discovered from his show that Syrians (!) have a long and prosperous history in Trinidad. I didn't even know that and I'm from there.

Yeah I was just starting to get hooked on him and his shows. He was kinda the culinary version of Steve Irwin. Adventurous, and charismatic.

The third person to die may well be Charles Krauthammer, who just announced that he "only has weeks to live".

This is really a huge bummer, even multiple hours after finding out.

I am not easily affected by celebrity deaths, but there are some personalities that are too charismatic to not care. What i liked about him were his contributions as an activist and the respect he had for other cultures.
His shows were also a very entertaining way to learn about cultures that most of its viewers would have never really found out about otherwise

:(

Who would have known that he was such a sad person.

I went to a book signing once and somebody in the crowd yelled that Bourdain was a pervert. Security threw the guy out but said, "We know that." That was interesting!
