Band Of Brothers was the best thing ever put on TV. (probably because it was about the best Americans ever) RIP Babe.

Anyone ever read the book? I've thought about getting it numerous times but never got around to it.

It would be impossible to keep up with the amount of heros that die everyday.

Paul Walker gets the attention from so many variables.

1) He is an actor from one of the top grossing franchises. The poster boy for that amateur street racer at heart.

2) He was very big into being a celeb that blended in, down to earth guy buying a hero a diamond ring, caring about typhoon victims.

3) The way he died

everyone who dies is important, from the bum on the street to celebs, theres just not enough time or space to talk about the thousands who die every year.

Im saddened by his death as I was a fan. Im also in a way relieved no innocent families were hurt or killed. As of now with the evidence, they were irresponsible. I hope this changes the street racing scene, a scene that I was trapped in early in my 20s. Cars are no joke. Trust me on that.

I read it too. Its a kinda different that the movie. There is less of a contiguous narrative. Its more a series of standout memories. But definitely good.
