DJ AM's show airs on MTV

Last night DJ AM's new show on MTV premeired. As most people know DJ AM passed away due to an accidental drug overdose just a few months ago. He was only 36 years old. DJ AM spent the last few months of his life filming a new television series titled "Gone Too Far" on MTV. The show helps young addicts deal with their own addictions by staging interventions. DJ AM spoke on the show about struggling with his own addictions and his 11 years of sobirety. DJ AM helped many people with this show and will continue to do so with it's airing.

There was a dispute on whether or not DJ AM's show would air due to his sudden and tragic passing. I think it's a good thing that his show is still continuing. He clearly worked so hard for something he believed in. He wanted to help people who have had the same addictions as he did and now he is getting his chance. "Gone Too Far" will not only impact the young people on the show but the people watching the show as well. It is a great tribute to him and his fans.

  1. I agree. I'm glad the show is airing. I missed the first episode, though. Did you see it? What did you think about it?

  2. I agree with MTV's decision to continue the airing of the show. I think that by doing so just as you say that the channel is doing a great tribute to him and that by continuing with something that he believed in they are allowing him to not just live on through the show, but also through the people that were helped by him through his show.
