No details yet, but KFI just gave a very brief report on their bottom of the hour news. Chris Penn, brother of Sean Penn, has been reported dead by the LAPD.

Who is Sean Penn?

[Cecily]

Wasn't he a singer? I think he had a hit song back in the 1990's, but I may be thinking of someone else.

[Salo]

That would be a shame if true. I would not wish this even on Sean Penn, who was once married to Madonna and has suffered enough.

[Riley]

As much as I dislike Sean Penn, I am not going to pick this occasion to verbally cap on him. Bad to lose family.

Oh Man......

Chris Penn

[doug from upland]

I am presuming it is true. KFI apparently got the report from the police.

[mware]

Condolences to the family.

It don't matter what their politics. It hurts to lose a loved one.

[wizardoz]

I liked him in Corky Romano.

[shield]

Wonder what happened?

The singer was actually Michael Penn -- the song was "No Myth." (1990).

[Salo]

That is a shame, then. Sean Penn might be unpleasant to say the least, but I still hate to see this happen.

[demkicker]

Too bad. He's the better looking Penn.

[JerseyDvl]

He was good in Reservoir Dogs, Rush Hour, and Footloose. Was never more than a small character actor but a good one.

[doug from upland]

Yes, a prayer for his soul and for his family.

[Cecily]

Thanks for the info. I loved that song.
