David Cassidy dies and the GHOULS come out (on eBay)

I have a history with Marty and Shirley. Never met David.

But I felt badly for David's mistreatment by the media over the past year. That included giggles and whispers that he was drunk on stage (when he wasn't). It included gossip that he was mean to his audience (when he was merely pleading with them to stop talking so his between song anecdotes could be heard). It also involved malicious remarks about him being a prima donna for having the musicianship to not only play a guitar instead of just stand around, but to pause and swap out the instrument for another waiting nearby so that his would always be in tune.

It was certainly a sad period of time for his friends and family when, despite the medical marvels of our age, he was hospitalized because he couldn't get organ donations. And it is always sad AND pathetic, when the first thing some eBay parasites do, is download signed pictures they find on the Internet, or scan something a star kindly signed, and then start making illegal reprint copies. "WOW."

Hurry hurry, step right up:

Oh, and here's some FUN TRIVIA. Ha. TRIVIA is SO ENTERTAINING:

It's items such as the above, that have me asking ALL celebrities to get representation in dealing with online maggots. One doesn't need to be a lawyer to file a takedown on EBAY or YOUTUBE etc. All one needs is a signed document from the star, or a suitable email and phone number that proves authorization. A friend or relative or fan can be authorized to submit a "good faith belief" on behalf of the star. And it SHOULD be done. There's no reason why stupid craven grave-robbing nose-picking potato-brains should make beer money off somebody else's life and creativity.

On eBay stars can request that a seller AT LEAST donate part of the profits to charity. Isn't that worth doing? Imagine if Miley or Taylor declared, "You can't dupe my photo for $10 unless $5 of it goes to charity." That could raise a lot of money. Why isn't it done? Ignorance and stupidity and CRAPATHY. As opposed to the ignorance, stupidity and avarice that has parasites uploading with impunity.
