Chapter 6 - I’ll Never Smile Again

It was October 16, 1971, Jimmy has been off the eyes of the media ever since his appearance in court.He got released from being the spokesman for those cigarettes and those ads still played but he didn't get payed for them.He was on his final days of the contract with CMG as Jetson sent him a gift basket for his 27th birthday.He was at his peak, had a full beard and let his hair grow out.He was in a small apartment in Colorado as he has been on a hell bent-drug infused lifestyle.His home was a dark and desolate place as he's rundown to his last bit of money.He was sitting on his little couch chair in the living room as you see all over the floors are boxes of pizza and boxes of expensive chocolates, he's been eating good.

I've been fighting for so long to get him behind bars but I just couldn't, I resigned and instead work in an office job.Back to this asshole, he was watching "The Omega Man " on tv as he was eating a plate of steak and fries.He was very overweight by now as he rarely went outside much.

He turned the channels as he got his phone to call Jetson one last time.He was already high off any prescription drug he could get after he's had it under his fathers name, god rest his soul.Speaking of family, they'd always send him mail but he never responded, he meant it when he said he never wanted to see then again.

Well Jimmy called Jetson multiple times but no answer.He stumbled upon a channel that was a late night talk show host time.He stopped calling after he left the channel on.The host went out and gave his little monologue as he introduced a mew singer.

"Well folks give it up….for …..Drew Dove !" You can hear the girls going wild for this kid as he got up and gave a quick speech.

"Hello ladies and gentleman, I firstly want to thank the great people down in CMG and the amazing Jetson Hill, he's made me the man I am today….." they turned the camera to Jetson as he stood up and waved.This made Jimmy spin for a moment as he got up and went for his pile of pills and downed about a handful of them.They started setting in as he left his tv on ad you can hear Drew singing and dancing as they loved him.

Jimmy walked out of his apartment building and walked the hallway slowly.He was out of state as he felt tipsy and felt the drugs kicking in.He turned to the walls of the hallway and started punching them slowly as each hit got more aggressive.

"Why ….Why ! Why !?? " he whispered then yelled.He then banged his head against the wall a couple times as he fell on his ass due to dizziness.This attracted neighbors as they looked upon Jimmy in worry as one yelled

"Christ call an ambulance !"

Jimmy leaned against the wall as he slowly sat down on the floor.He started to spazz and started twitching all over.some people crowded around him.Jimmy laid on his back as he started coughing up blood, imagine that sadness, he choked on his own blood.

I only found out a few days later that he died, he was irrelevant.On October 17, 1971, Jimmy "Mr.Controversial" Smith died at the age of 27.It's sad to say now, no one remembers him, his one true fear came true.Fun fact, the woman who interviewed him the chicken spot was the first one to get make a story in his death for the papers.It's funny to think, he never got his pink journal back, we didn't where we left it.From what I've been told, it got burnt to a crisp.Till this day I still feel no justice was served, that man didn't deserve to die that day.I do have to admit one thing, for an awful man, he had some okay music.Through it all, Jimmy died worth of 1 million dollars and had an estate of six homes across Las Vegas and California and still had that Oscar nomination under his name.You can say it was Jetson that killed him, or drugs or his own ego.It's all true but what got to him was the scam the Hollywood lifestyle gives.

July 24, 1997, the only remembrance of Jimmy is a little mural on Hollywood boulevard.The only news you'd see of him is awful sketch comedy on his death and people making conspiracies of his death and his connection to who he killed.Jetson did set a standard for talent in the industry as he's remembered as The Godfather of Hollywood.He died in March of 96', he got his Hollywood star, Jimmy hasn't.His only legacy now is his older brothers children, they live out in Minnesota.
