Wow.  Didn't see this coming at all.  Man must have had some serious demons.  RIP, Mork.  :(

He was always one of those brilliant personalities that, just by the way his genius worked, you knew he had demons. 
But I always thought that once he got beyond those coked-out, high-risk frenetic years of the 70s and early 80s stand-up scene and early television success that he was safe, that he had gotten past them. 
I would say they finally caught up with him, but it's apparent they had never left.

I think he was in a 12 step program pretty recently.  RIP.  :(

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

:( Losing one of the greats on my birthday.

Gonna have to go back and watch one of his pre-sober standup shows. :weep:

Wasn't his biggest fan, but I liked some of his work. Sad to see him go like this. :(
