Not immaturity, just youth. I would trade you for the 19 years I have on you in an instant. I miss the younger, more carefree days. If it makes me seem less old, I do like PINK.

 

PINK is so yesterday.

When it's a self destructive lifestyle that caused the death, I feel very little, regardless of how young they are. In fact, I'm still angry at Whitney Houston.

They all hit home to me to some degree — I guess I've gotten sentimental in my aging.

 

The first one I recall that really caught me off-guard was Thurman Munson. I was as ate-up with baseball as you can possibly imagine a pre-teen boy being, first getting to know Munson through the Reds WS matchup in 76, then I started cheering for him against the hated Dodgers the next two years.

 

I was riding with my father and his brother to CVG airport for some reason or another, or maybe we were picking up my uncle. Anyway, we had it on WLW and they announced it, said he died in a plane crash, which made us being at the airport right then seem extra-eerie to a young boy just 2 weeks shy of his 9th birthday.

 

John Lennon's death the next year also shook me up.

 

 

I remember crying when Munson died. I think it was the first time I had ever cried over sometime dying.

PINK is so yesterday.

 

 

Hey, she's still hot!

PINK is so yesterday.

I was one day from my 11th birthday when Elvis died. I didn't really understand what his death meant. As the years have passed, I do understand why his death was so newsworthy.

 

I never was an Earnhardt fan, but I do remember that sinking feeling when I logged onto the computer the evening of that Daytona 500 race in 2001. I just couldn't believe he had died. When you look back at all of the footage of that event, you realize how bad things were when you saw Ken Schrader go to Earnhardt's car and then start frantically motioning for assistance. NASCAR has been in a slow decline since.

I'm only 33 so maybe I am demonstrating my immaturity. But I have never heard of any of those people. Not a single one of your musical heroes even rings a bell.

Same. Growing up as the "big kid" in the neighborhood, I always liked how Chris Farley managed to be the fat guy that everyone liked and laughed at. Made me really sad when he died.

 

2 minute and 19 second long trailer for a documentary on Chris...I teared up 3 times watching it once.

 

Not counting politicians as celebrities, although I was old enough for Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King to hit pretty hard; in 3rd grade when Lincoln was assassinated..

 

I'll go with John Lennon.

Fixed.

Fixed.

 

Christopher Hitchings - I took it pretty hard.

Hunter S Thompson to an extent -- the world isn't as fun without him.
