In Hollywood, it seems almost accepted that a certain number of stars will die because of drugs or alcohol. While I didn’t follow Giraldo, I do find it amazing that days before he relapsed he was scheduled to do a recovery gig. I can’t emphasize in this blog enough how badly addiction really needs to be seen as a disease — just like cancer — and more attention needs to be given … Read More
