heh. I'm not so sure about that. Look at all the crap he's done to himself. He's still kicking although you can't understand a word he says. (Wait. You never really could understand anything he said.)

It can only be a comment on you, as you cannot speak for our society (you can't possibly know what everyone is thinking), or "relative unimportance" for those people (not thinking like you), or "lasting importance" for anyone but you.

And much past one's wife or children's lives & future, I can't imagine much more than that that would have lasting importance to a man.
Nothing lasts forever.
Governments crumble, kingdoms collapse, whole species go extinct.
Not even collective knowledge.

All we are and all we know is all we got.
Our job is to hand that off to the future to be further refined.
That's the best we can do.

Everybody probably thinks they already are...wait, important to who?

P.S. This was all in good fun, while possibly getting across a point.
Everybody got to today (now) differently.

All of the original Stones are alive and still a group. Of this list I would say Ozzy looks to be the obvious,......but I am some what of a fan, so I hope he stays with us a lot longer.
BTW, I don't wish death or harm to any of them.



Ozzy is "The lord of F**king darkness".. He'll live forever.. lol.

Awww... C'mon Joe. People gotta come up for air sometime.

And, as far as I'm concerned, if it's gotta be "un-serious chatter", music is a worthwhile thing to waste a few minutes on.

It's not just a musician. Music, VH and Eddie were the things a bunch of people bonded through with living or now gone friends (and lifelong friends). Those bonds were what formed some of what we are today. It's a time marker in your life when that passes.

Well said!
It’s nice to see a brain work like that around here!

When I appreciate a skill, I don’t concern myself with who they sleep with or who they like or dislike, or how they choose to use their voice in public matters.

I don’t have to agree with them or need them to think or act in a way I approve of.

Running someone else’s life is not my job.

I like skill anywhere I can find it.
I even like mimes!
