Okay - Enough Already...jeez.

This year is really hard on music fans... Today's deaths: Glenn Frey from the Eagles, and Mic Gillette from Tower Of Power.

It's getting tough to take....

There are a lot of music pioneers getting up in that age range. It's going to be a rough year for music.

Many younger than me.

Not so much, I don't think. Excessive booze and drugs usually takes people at a young age.

This I think is people aging - bodies breaking down and less able to deal with illness...some of that may be from wear n ' tear due to hard living, but I suspect the % of entertainers dying in their 60s is no greater than the rest of the population.

We just notice more.

Fact is, we are only a couple generations removed from a time where the average life-span for a North American male was his late 40's. (Younger if he was working class...)

:-( sad year so far. On the bright side, all of these men lived out their dreams and had amazing lives compared to the average man.
