It's interesting how everyone has such diverse perspectives. You saw those folks as idiots for their point of view on those particular deaths. I don't know your taste in music and I may be going out on a limb here, but what if it happened today and it was some bubble gum pop star or rapper who was adored by millions but inconsequential to you; could you picture yourself saying something similar to that teacher or businessman? I know I could, truth be told. If Katy Perry were to drop dead tomorrow I wouldn't be upset over a great loss in the world of music. As a human being I'd feel bad as I would for anyone, but to affect me deeply, not so much.
If I said "well it's not as if it were Diana Krall", that Katy Perry fan would likely think...Idiot!
Quadman-i try to keep abreast of any news about Benny but perhaps your right and i missed that....it was an udder tragedy though,such a titillating comedian...but then one day we will all be bust....he certainly milked it enjoying a long career....He died of "Boobitus" did he not?

Right On. Long Live Frank's music !Zappa
Jimi Hendrix.
David Bowie's passing affected me more than I thought it would. I loved his music, but I wasn't what you'd call a fan. Still, he was an icon and trailblazer. And for days after his death I found myself getting choked up.
