Sister, blasphemy is a serious thang, but you are young and therefore forgiven.

Preach on sister!

(Said with appropriate respect and appreciation for Bono/U2, their Joshua Tree album is one of my favorites)

i agree.... .. joshua tree is iconic..... but then i never heard a u2 album i didn;t like most of the songs in.... ....one of the reasons i like them so much might be because my mom didn;t care for u2.... in fact i don;t remember hearing u2 played much in her house ...but i do remember her changing the radio channel or turning it all off when u2 came on.... ...but i have no idea why.... :unsure:

He did die rather young.

True. But he was my parents' music, and it's easy to assume, even in the 1980s, that he was an old guy.

That said, all the singers I used to listen to in the 80s are in their 60s or 70s now, too...

It's wild thinking that singers like Billy Idol, and groups like Duran Duran, the Bangles, AC/DC, Heart, etc...are all old fogies now. And I'm not far behind!

Or Robert Murray McCheyne

The difference, at least in my mind, is that M'Cheyne, Lord Byron, Blaise Pascal (and many other famous people who made a name for themselves before dying young) were of another era; they'd have been dead by then one way or another, anyway.

Roy Orbison was my parents' music, and he was a few years older than them. In my mind, he was already an "old man"--even though the musicians I liked are now older than him by a decade or two.

Once it dawned on me that the music of U2, Duran Duran, Madonna, etc. is older to me now than the music of Orbison, Elvis, or the Beatles was in the 1980s, I got a bit more of a "long look," I guess.

Roy Orbison was only 52 when he passed. Not very old from my perspective. I've outlived him by nearly ten years.

Just found out this morning that I have outlived Calvin Coolidge and Teddy Roosevelt by about a year. 😳
