3 Chords & the Truth Episode #12
With the rash of recent celebrity deaths, we had to get this one up quickly before it became inaccurate. Heading back to my apartment, I test Johnny on his knowledge of famous people and whether or not they're alive. In true Johnny fashion, he supplies little anecdotes and quips about each star mentioned.

What's notable about this episode, aside from my cat meowing about :54 in, is this is the first episode in which we feature a guitar. (Amazing that we've gone 12 episodes without breaking one out.) So sit back, relax, and see if you know whether these people are dead ... or not. And for those interested, here's Rip Torn's mugshot.

We touch a little on the sad story of chess champion Bobby Fischer. You can see a little about his madness and anti-Semitism on the YouTube. That link has part of Jeremy Schaap's confrontation with Fischer.

JW, fist-pumping the death of Suzanne Pleschette borders on deranged.

Andrew Koenig was also arrested for bushwhacking the Chinese float at the Rose Parade to protest the Olympics. He also played the Joker in the YouTube hit Batman: Dead End.

Shut up Swayze.

Boner was arrested at the Rose Parade. He is quite proud of it.

take this for what ya want but it's said in all truth. i like 3 chords & the truth.

my only gripe is; it's hard for me to respond to each one in this format. i would love to sit and shoot the shit with you guys and rip on ya or praise ya cause you seem to be my kind of funny.

trying to type out a response afterwards hasn't worked for me yet. except for this one. hmm...

Of all the times I've watched 3Chord's, this has definitely been one of em.

I like the guitar addition, bring 'im 'round again, blokes

nice one vicky.

Best episode to date, by a mile. We need to do this live via uStream - audience members shouting out minor celebs and johnny guessing alive or dead.

Maybe we even make it "alive, dead or lingering (swayze, jobs, etc) " - that's got a nice ring to it.

Johhny, looking much less homosexual today, good job ;-)

only you guys can mention boner in a 'are they dead?' game lol

Hey, don't bury me, cuz I'm not dead yet!

said Don't Swayze Bro on July 16, 2009 9:45 AM.

Thanks Mart. I'm really trying.

Cheeky bugger.

said Johnny Wright on July 16, 2009 12:48 PM.

3:20 - best part.. "that boom chica boom chica boom...."

And nice spread of diseases echo; you really ran the gambit there.

All in all 3.5 stars out of 5. Entertaining, but too much thinking, not enough buffoonery.

said Jimbo on July 16, 2009 9:05 PM.

3 Chords will get more stupid from here Jimbo. Buffoonery, hijinks and tomfoolery will follow. I promise.

Honestly, I missed Baierman!

I mean, 3 chords could be....E......B......and...???
Eh?.....J....Jw....J-Dub....J????
A little help here, folks?
