Chris Farley's brother
One of the saddest stories of the last decade was the death of Chris Farley. This funny man, from SNL, died speedballing cocaine and morphine in 1997. He was 33 years old. Some say the brightest stars always burn out faster, but certainly the death of a star occurs sooner when the star self-medicates to relieve his pain. The story of Chris Farley -- his powerful personality, his ability to make people laugh and forgive him, his fatal addiction to drugs -- is told in a new book by his older brother, Tom Farley Jr. It's called "The Chris Farley Show: A Biography in Three Acts," and Tom Farley will hook up for a live chat today at 1 pm on Midday, 88.1, WYPR-FM. As always, this show can be heard over the Internet.
