Quote 1: He came to me. Saved me. Oh, and by the way. He wanted me to give you a message. He says you’ve abused the gifts that he’s given you, and now you’re going to have to pay the price.

Quote 2: Had those before? Yeah. They’re Pop Rocks; they crackle in your mouth. Eat some… thirsty?… What’s wrong? Something you might have heard about mixing Pop Rocks and Soda?
Well, supposedly, your stomach and your intestines and everything bursts.

Quote 3: Don’t do this to me again. Not again. I hate you. I hate you! The fear is feeding him. Don’t be afraid of what’s happening. Believe it’s going to pass. Believe it. Just wait. Don’t be afraid. The air is coming. Believe. We don’t have to be afraid. It’s about to pass. Here it comes. Don’t be afraid.

Quote 4: I checked into the murders. And I checked into the twenty year old boy who killed his parents, and his four brothers and sisters. And when he was at trial, he testified that he heard voices in the house. He heard voices in the house and the voices told him to do it! Now, I was in the house and I heard the voices, too! And I also felt their presence in the house! I’m telling you, there was a presence in that house!

Quote 5: Past few months people have been coming up to me and reporting that they’ve been seeing strange things. And I’m not talking about the town’s speed freak. I’m talking about good, honest, church going people. Now, I’ve known these folks my entire life and they seem downright embarrassed to be bringing it up. Bringing what up? It’s hard to explain.

Quote 6: Day one thousand and one. We came in close contact with a hive today. Blood tests confirm that I remain immune to both the airborne and contact strains. Canines remain immune to airborne strain only. The vaccine trials continue. I’m still unable to transfer my immunity to infected hosts.

Good Luck!

With consent and support from DJ AM’s family, MTV will be airing an eight-episode documentary series ‘Gone Too Far’ beginning Monday, Oct. 12.

By MTV News Staff …

DJ AM knew all too well about the daily struggle of drug addiction. The late celebrity spinner (born Adam Goldstein), who died of an accidental drug overdose in August at age 36, spent his last few months filming an MTV series called “Gone Too Far,” in which he spoke candidly about his own addiction, his 11 years of sobriety and his desire to help other young addicts overcome their demons.  

Each episode features AM meeting with the addicts, their friends and families to discuss their willingness to change. The show was part of AM’s long struggle to overcome substance abuse, and it follows his mission to help as many people as he could, using interviews and self-shot video from the addicts and their friends and families that expose the severity of their addiction and its devastating impact on their lives.

Only a year after his near-fatal plane crash, Adam Goldstein, aka DJ AM, was found dead in his apartment after missing for days according to The Associated Press. Read below.

The Associated Press
   NEW YORK  — DJ AM, the sought-after disc jockey who became a celebrity in his own right with high-profile romances and a glamorous lifestyle and survived a plane crash just months ago, was found dead Friday at his apartment. He had a history of drug problems.
   Police found a crack pipe and prescription pills in the Manhattan apartment, according to a law enforcement official, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the investigation was ongoing. Paramedics had to break down the door to the apartment before they found him, shirtless and wearing sweatpants, in his bed at about 5:20 p.m., the official said.
   A friend had called police to say he was unable to get into the home in the trendy SoHo neighborhood. There was no evidence of foul play, and a medical examiner will determine the DJ’s cause of death.

  DJ AM, whose real name was Adam Goldstein, had talked openly about past addictions to crack cocaine, Ecstasy and other drugs, but he claimed he had been drug-free for years, even swearing off cigarettes.
   His spokeswoman, Jenni Weinman, said the circumstances surrounding his death were unclear. She pleaded for privacy for his family.
   In October, MTV was to debut his new reality show, “Gone Too Far,” in which he and concerned families staged interventions for drug abusers. In a recent interview with the AP, he talked about holding a crack pipe for the first time in years for the show and said he felt as though he had an angel on his shoulder for surviving so much turmoil.
   Last year, he was badly hurt in a South Carolina plane crash that killed four people and seriously injured rock musician Travis Barker.
   MTV did not have an immediate comment on whether the show would air.
   Goldstein, 36, was a deejay for hire who performed at Hollywood’s most exclusive parties and was admired by music aficionados. He also was famous for past relationships with the reality TV star Nicole Richie, the daughter of singer Lionel Richie, and with actress-singer Mandy Moore.
   Goldstein was critically injured last September when a Learjet crashed on takeoff in Columbia, S.C. The plane was transporting Goldstein and Barker, a drummer for the pop punk band Blink-182, after a performance; the pair had formed the duo TRVSDJ-AM.
   Barker and Goldstein were burned, though Barker was injured more severely. Goldstein had to get skin graft surgery, but about a month later he was performing again, joining Jay-Z on stage.
   At the time, he told People magazine he was grateful to survive.
   “I can’t believe I made it,” he said. “I’ve prayed every night for the past 10 years. There’s a lot more to thank God for now. … I was saved for a reason. Maybe I’m going to help someone else. I don’t question it. All I know is I’m thankful to be here.”
   Goldstein rose to fame several years ago as highly sought-after DJ whose beats kept the dance floor packed and clubgoers hypnotized. He was known for his deft mashups, a blend of at least two songs, and performed not only in clubs but on grand stages, performing earlier this year at the Coachella music festival in Indio, Calif.
   He was to be one of the playable characters in Activision’s “DJ Hero,” a rhythm video game from the makers of “Guitar Hero” that uses a turntable-shaped controller. The game is set for release Oct. 27.
   “We are deeply saddened by the loss of DJ AM, who was a tremendous talent, a trusted partner and friend to ‘DJ Hero,”’ said Tim Riley, vice president of music affairs for Activision. “Our thoughts and prayers are with his friends and family. AM was instrumental in the making of ‘DJ Hero,’ and we hope that his work on the game will be a fitting tribute to his creative spirit and musical talent.”
   Celebrities and fans instantly shared their reactions to his death on Twitter, where “RIP DJ AM” was the No. 1 topic Friday.
   “I’m stunned. Rest in peace Adam,” singer-songwriter Josh Groban posted.
   “I’m sorry to loved ones,” musician and video director Pete Wentz wrote. “So unexpected.”
   Singer John Mayer wrote: “We’re supposed to lose our friends to time, at an age when we’re ready to agree to the terms of having lived a long life. Not now.”
   Representatives for Moore and Barker didn’t immediately return telephone messages seeking comment on the DJ’s death.
