So far 2016 seems like a bad year for losing celebrities! Seems like musicians, actors, and actresses are going down in record numbers. Perhaps it is that I am getting to a certain age and the people I grew up watching and listening to are older than I and it is just a natural thing. As Benjamin Franklin said, In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes. It always seems funny to me that some who you expect would have died, every member of the Rolling Stones comes to mind, and others who seemed to take care of themselves better are gone. I guess that is the nature of life. If you took everyone who was born the same year as yourself and lined them up at age ten you would have very little in the way of predictors as to who would make it to sixty and who would not. Only God knows that, and he has not shared that with me. Of course, the opposite is also true in this age of the internet, some who are still alive have been rumored dead for years. Well, let’s hope that our favorite musicians from your youth are still kicking in 2017 and that the tickets to see them are affordable. And if yours has already passed, let’s hope the movie made about their life is at least half way decent to watch.
