A F***ing Good Life: Remembering Rik Mayall

Remembering Rik Mayall – An American perspective 

I fell in love with a man on the day he died. They say you learn a lot about a person by reading an obituary, but I was never one of those maudlin obit collectors. But I saw the name Rik Mayall cross my screen early on the morning of June 9, and I felt a rush in my ears. My Facebook post about it only garnered one comment. There were only a few of my friends who even knew, or cared, who Rik Mayall was. And that broke my heart.

 I learned about Rik Mayall when I was 22-year-old college student in 1985—the first time his landmark comedy series “The Young Ones,” which he created, wrote, and starred, splashed across MTV. We knew at the time that we were living in a unique time in history; we were very aware that the ‘80s were going to be written about and satirized and romanticized later, and for me, Rik Mayall represented a comic version of everything I loved—and hated—about the 1980s.

This house will become a shrine, and punks and skins and rastas will all gather round and hold their hands in sorrow for their fallen leader. And all the grown-ups will say, “but why are the kids crying?” And the kids will say, “Haven’t you heard? Rick is dead! The People’s Poet is dead!”

Rik Mayall

Today is the third anniversary of Rik’s death. He was such an amazing comic and actor, and is a genuine inspiration to me and so many others.

The reason he’s such a legend is because he’s lived a full and beautiful life.

“I had a very happy childhood, happy teenage years and I was famous by the time I was 22. A charmed life.”

He played so many loved and memorable characters that were dotted throughout my life. My dad grew up with The Young Ones and I grew up with The Comic Strip.

He brought so much character to the characters he played and his confidence astounded me, he seemed so at home on the stage.
