  • 2016 - The great Boomer Die Off ?

    This over everyone else. And it will fuck me up for a long minute.
    Call me a heartless bastard, but when someone has led a long life, and leaves behind a great body of music, my grief is tempered somewhat. When their great musical days are already long behind them, then my grief is often "I thought they died ages ago".
    People gonna die, and everyone we're talking about in this thread has had the benefit of wealth, adoration and enriching people's lives. A full and productive life is not no thing to be sure.

    But it is the end of a spirit and a soul that has made this shitty place that much better. Stevie Wonder reps an era - a few of them actually -and as arbitrary and manufactured that is, it still means something if it has shaped you. Having someone who has been around as long as you have heard music and danced die means your own time is almost done, too. And as ok with death one might think they are, it's still scary and sad.

    I know people who would have to stay home that day.
    After Joe Strummer and Nina Simone, Stevie might be the next person (who I don't know) whose passing would fuck me up

    What is happening is well-documented all over the internet.

    Why ask an academic on SoulStrut when you can read and hear first-person accounts of those on campus and on the receiving end of *microaggressions* like being threatened with death and cornered by trucks with the license plates removed? Something tells me it's not because you really actually care about what the hell is happening.
