In Loving Memory

Filed under: DJ A.M. > Travis Barker

As a tribute to DJ AM, longtime friend and graffiti artist JoeX2 designed a billboard that was just unveiled over Travis Barker's Famous Stars and Straps store in El Lay.

It reads, "In Loving Memory DJ AM."

He will continue to be missed!

ok seriously…WTF? he was a drug addict "D.J." who couldn't keep his habit in check. he wasn't some hero, or someone who saved lives, or helped the poor. he spun records in nightclubs, and did drugs! anyones death is a tragedy, yes, but its not like the world lost this immensely talented entertainer…move on people.

THIS IS NICE. BUT FOR MTV TO PLAY HIS SHOW IS BULLSHIT. MTV AND OTHER NETWORKS NEED TO STOP GLORIFYING DRUG USE. THATS ALL DJ AM'S SHOW DID! WHAT KIND OF MESSAGE IS IT TO KIDS TO AIR A SHOW ABOUT NOT DOING DRUGS WHEN HE OVER DOSED HIMSELF!
RIP

he did save lives and i'm sick of hearing stupid people saying he didn't. in his show gone to far he saved addict after addict and they are all still sober to this day. he was a wonderful person. even before the show he inspired me to get clean. he was a wonderful person. he deserves to be remembered forever.

With all due respect To his family and friends but i dont get all this celebration of him. He was addicted to pills wasn't he? Should we praise him for that? Don't get me wrong I just don't get it.

why do we wait to glorify someone in death and not their life?

I wish people would stop calling graffti "art" because it's not. I live in NYC and I see that tacky crap everywhere and really ruins the view! You wanna know art? Go to a museum!

Who the fuck cares about this guy? He's just a fucking DJ. It's not like he discovered the cure for cancer.

He may have been a drug addict, and Im not glorifying it and nor shall anyone. but he has family and people who cared for him and if they want to put up something for their friend as a memorial, let them! Quit bitching.

Gone Too Far is a brilliant look at drug and alcohol abuse and the effects it has on the addict as well as their loved ones. Not all the cases go perfectly but that is addiction. At the end of each episode they address his death and the effect it had on the various addicts the show highlights.
Although he apparently was taking anti-anxiety meds and perhaps pain meds while filming the show his message is spot on and news of his relapse and ultimate death are further proof of where addiction can take you.

I saw DJ AM last time he performed in Sacramento, in Jan. He was sitting at a table before his performance, with some friends, and seemed to be enjoying himself. I was so excited to see such a down-to-earth celebrity just sitting across the way from me. When him and Travis performed, I was in heaven. After, my friend and I went back and hung out with Paul Wall, and Travis. DJ AM went back to his room… I thought he was trying to avoid the "party scene". Now, I think he just wasn't happy and didnt want to be around anyone. I will truly miss the GREAT DJ AM! RIP
