I met Corey Haim as well. It was at a Ray Courts Show some 10 years ago. He was accompanied by his Mom who was, or least acted as, his agent. That seemed a bit unusual, I thought, but I figured that she was just being a "Jewish mother hen", and what the hell, if he didn't mind it then it may keep him out of trouble.
Since Corey was born in Toronto, Canada, and his Mom it turned out is an Israeli compatriot, just like I am, we hit it off great and the conversation was easy. Among other things I learned that Corey's "partner in crime", Corey Feldman, was kind of the "bad boy" between the two, since, it was intimated, he got mixed in drugs.. I was happy then that Corey Haim had his Mom watching over him. How ironic that so many years later I learn that Corey Haim died of drug overdose, and his Mom, being only a few steps away, as she always was, discovered the body and called for an ambulance.. A very sad sad ending. Zeev From: MoPo List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Brude Sent: Saturday, March 13, 2010 7:08 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MOPO] Anyone surprised? I met Corey Haim during a Lost Boys video promotion in Las Vegas, late 1980s. I was very impressed by this young man and it is sad to see how his career spiraled and ended like this. I will always remember him as Lucas and the wheelchair-bound "boy who cried werewolf" in Silver Bullet. RIP Corey. --- On Sat, 3/13/10, Greg <[email protected]> wrote: From: Greg <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [MOPO] Anyone surprised?

It's just that I have watched so many of my friends and fellow musicians die young, old and needlessly from drugs that I just throw up my hands in dismay and frustration at times, and sarcasm is often a deflection for me. Personally? I've almost checked out early from the Big Hotel at least 3 times from ODs, and you know what...it would have indeed been a stupid way to die, and I would have left lots of sadness & wreckage behind. I guess I was just lucky, unlike Mr. Haim.. I am so in the trenches when it comes to drugs, I work with addicts as a musical counselor, and they are lovely amazing people, but GOD they do dumb things to themselves. If I seemed less than sensitive to Haim's death, it's just that I have seen too much of it, and occasionally my brain explodes. I beg the group's pardon for being such a seemingly insensitive dick. Group hug? Greg Douglass PS-I still think LOST BOYS is overrrated. I ain't taking that shit back.
