Maybe it's a baby-boomer thing? It seems like our cultural icons should live forever, and when a major figure passes away, my reaction is almost, "How could that happen?"

I felt sad for days when I heard George Harrison died. I admired that he lived his life in accord with his conscience. It really seemed like he wasn't too wound up in the whole "fame" thing -- he seemed more interested in meaning-of-life questions. I think he deserved better than a painful death from cancer. And John Lennon -- well, he certainly deserved far, far better. It's so hard to believe there are only two Beatles left for us to enjoy.
