  2. Tragedy is part of what made them who they are. And they are wonderful. I
    know it’s not a popular belief and I don’t know what Ray Charles’s beliefs
    were but to me, his mother was with him every step of the way after her
    death and had the best view of all of his success. And he’s now known that
    for 12 years.

  5. List is missing: Cyndi Lauper, Kathy Griffin, Keanu Reeves, Madonna, and
    Eminem. And I guess the Phillips family.

  8. WHERE DF IS EMINEM !?

    Was bullied in and beaten in school and had to move dozens of times.

    Was poor

    Father left when he was young

    Mother was an addict

    Uncle committed suicide
    and his mom said it should’ve been him.

    Was bullied for being white trying to rap

    his best friend proof was murdered..

    AND HE ALMOST DIED DUE TO DRUG OD

    not to mention his turbulent relationship with Kim Mathers !

    COME DF ON !
