IT's weird, but when I think of Eddie Murphy, I immediately think of Axle Rose. They both had achieved a level of fame that is just...unimaginable. Although I think drugs and alcohol had more to do w/ Axle's dissappearance: I think all the attention and stardom pushed BOTH these guys completely over the edge.
Remember when Axl went on MTV and played a reunion w/ GnR and publicly claimed his 'comeback?' It never materialized.
It feels like Eddie has been given that chance as well, numerous times. As a big Eddie Murphy fan, I was excited. Who does not want to see him make the stage his bitch once again? I would pay money to do so! Now he's just 'not doing it?'
Every comic interviewed talks about how vitally important it is to 'get up ' on stage to stay sharp. Eddie hasn't done so in decades. No doubt he is amazing talent...but a dialed in act takes at least some practice. I mean, hell, make an effort. I mean, even some of the most laziest stand-ups get up at least once a year... sometimes annually ....
ahem.
Can't we all just pretend Eddie Murphy got killed after making the hilarious/ brilliant, terrific cast/ well-acted movie: Life? Goddamn...I've seen it a hundred times.
I miss Eddie Murphy. Scratch that. I miss the idea of Eddie having the legacy he so deserves to leave himself.
