Artie Lange hospitalized

Not too much detail, not even which hospital he is in. Just a self destructive guy, but a guy with a big heart.

Artie Lange rushed to hospital, cancels weekend show, reports say

 

Read somewhere that it was because of high blood sugar. Might be pre-diabetic or now fully diabetic.

 

Yes, says for high blood sugar. Would think there's a good chance he also took some meds or drugs.

 

Sugar's for cookies, Coke's for the nose.

 

I bow in your general direction.

I kinda dig Artie, but I'm shocked he's still inhabiting the planet.

 

Was talking with a buddy at work last week, he watched Artie recently on youtube, not sure if it was his podcast. Said Artie looked really bad, thought he was at least 60, and didn't seem to care when asked about his health. Other buddy at work grew up with Artie, played baseball together as kids and in hs. Artie mentioned my buddy on his show before.

 

His promo pic for the other night in Ohio.

 

That's a couple years old, it's on the back cover of Crash and Burn, think it may have been from the Rolling Stone article on him.

 

What a funny bastard and what a tortured soul. I don't think he's 50 yet, but looking at this pic you'd think otherwise.

 

If Artie's never talked with Keith Richards before, now is the time.

 

Re-watched Beer League the other day. Pretty funny, although not for the easily offended (or even perhaps the not-so-easily offended).

 

Just turned 50 last week, was one of the youngest in his grade.
