    Who died? I stopped keeping track after …hmmm would it be funnier to say Kurt Cobain (RIP) or James Brown (RIP)?

      Muhammad Ali, Prince, Patty Duke, Edward Albee, Pat Summitt, Gene Wilder, Phyllis Schlafly, David Bowie, Elie Wiesel, Shimon Peres, Nancy Reagan, Arnold Palmer, Harper Lee

      A lot of well known people who were influential to millennials and boomers both. Statistically i don’t think it was an oddity but it felt like it and trump was the icing on the cake.

        Wow that is a lot. Thank you – and RIP David Bowie. The others, too, of course. I was thinking Muhammad Ali died circa Bush as potus. Huh. And Elie Wiesel must have been like 90+. Like he was married when he was put in a concentration camp (and his wife was killed there🙁).

          I originally thought James Brown was in that year, but he died shortly after I saw him perform in 2005! A great artist, and a horrible human.

          Human perception of time is weird.

            Agreed. I didn’t realize he died so long ago. Tho I am very envious that you saw him perform live.
