Ohhhhh... that IS very sad celttooth. I have read several of his books and admired him greatly for standing up for his principles.

I am sure that he has inspired many to follow in his footsteps - and for that we owe him a great debt. Truly sad news. :(

RIP Farley - you WILL be enormously missed :(

Love this man. I've never seen him lose a debate or any argument he put forth.
Everyone in his presence cowered to his intellect.

In a recent brilliant interview with George Stroumboulopoulos:

How can you not love this hard smoking, hard drinking, lovable womanizer :)
