TOO BURNED (TO BE QUIT OF THE FIRE) (For Charlie Rocket)
Friday, December 09, 2005




come to the end of a long, knotted rope
I dangle from the tangles
an aged actor performing a last, sad role,
I play the part of the man I most hated
I play the part of the fiend I least admired
I play a worn-out, washed-up has-been
too desperate to know his time
here at the butt of a long, running joke
I strangle in the angles
a weary bone digger digging his last, sad hole,
I play the part for which I am most fated
I play the part of failure perched on a high wire
I play an unknown, unloved, un-nothing
too burned to be quit of the fire .. Around the time of the murders, Neil had vanished off to England, where he is originally from.
. Rachel had been shot twice; once in her torso and once in the head and Lillian had been killed by a single gunshot to her torso.

Vogt said, "Charles Rocket was a man who will be remembered for his great sense of humor and always someone of style and personality, he will be missed.". Rachel, along with her infant daughter, Lillian, were found in bed, shot to death in the master bedroom of their rented home in Hopkinton, Massachusetts. However after his death, radio personality and friend Brandon Vogt, gave Rocket a fitting tribute on WXCM-FM 97X Owensboro, KY. Rachel Elizabeth Entwistle (December 14, 1978) - (January 20, 2006) was the wife of Neil Entwistle, an unemployed British computer programmer. Declining to show even a short clip, the program simply displayed a brief title card on the way to a commercial; the card was not even shown on certain NBC affiliates.

The Connecticut state medical examiner later ruled his death a suicide. On October 7, 2005, his body was discovered by police in his yard in Canterbury, Connecticut; his throat had been cut. Sadly, Rocket never had the chance to experience A-list status as a celebrity.

His last role was in the 2003 movie Shade, starring Sylvester Stallone and Melanie Griffith. He also lent his voice to popular video game titles "Star Wars: Starfighter," "Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter" (as the character "Nym" in both games), "Descent 3," and "Age of Mythology.". Nevertheless, he found limited success in guest spots on many popular television programs in the late 1990s and early-to-mid 2000s, including The King of Queens, Touched By An Angel, and Law & Order: Criminal Intent, the last of which marked his final appearance on network television. As the 1990s wore on, beneficial roles were few and far between, as Rocket struck out in such box office duds as Titan A.E. and Fathers' Day and in the short-lived 2000 John Goodman series Normal, Ohio on the Fox network.

On the small screen, he managed to secure a series of guest spots on several 1980s sitcoms and also played rival network president Ned Grossberg on the 1980s cyberpunk series Max Headroom. Rocket recovered from this early career setback and acted in many films, including Earth Girls Are Easy, It's Pat, Dances with Wolves, and Dumb and Dumber, often portraying the antagonist. Piscopo and Murphy were the only cast members to survive the ax, and new producer Dick Ebersol replaced most other cast members later. The incident seemed to encapsulate all that was wrong with Saturday Night Live at the time, and both Rocket and Doumanian were soon fired (along with most of the writers and fellow cast members).

A wheelchair-bound Charles audibly mumbled that he'd like to know "who the fuck did it", followed by the cast and audience reacting with shock and embarrassed laughter. At the end of the show, there was some time to kill, so members of the cast appeared onstage with Tilton, who improvised and asked Rocket how he felt about being shot. Rocket was then shot in the chest by a sniper in the final sketch. The February 21, 1981 episode hosted by Dallas star Charlene Tilton featured an ongoing joke in which different cast members would vow revenge on him for some reason, in a parody of the famed "Who Shot J.R.?" episode of Dallas.

Unfortunately, Rocket would eventually doom both his and Doumanian's tenures on the show with one word. (Viewers have noted, however, that his style on Weekend Update was evidently later adopted by Dennis Miller.). Rocket was somewhat of a standout, though, due to his infamous "Rocket Reports" segments, despite the fact that he was not very successful as the "Update" anchor. However, the new cast (save for Joe Piscopo and later Eddie Murphy) was not at all popular with audiences.

Singled out by new executive producer Jean Doumanian as the star of her new ensemble, Rocket was promoted as "kind of a cross between Bill Murray and Chevy Chase." Rocket was given the role of anchor for the show's Weekend Update news parody, and was featured in many sketches. Rocket was cast for the 1980–81 season, which followed the departure of the remaining members of the show's popular original cast and original executive producer Lorne Michaels. He made his network debut on the popular program Saturday Night Live. He later anchored the local news at Channel 12 WPRI.

He made several short films and fronted his band, the Fabulous Motels. He attended the Rhode Island School of Design in the late 1960s and was part of the Rhode Island underground scene in the 1970s.
