        In other news, baby boomers are entering their 70s, and people who lived hardest generally die earliest. Keith Richards being the exception.

        When a society fetishizing one generation of musicians, this is bound to happen eventually.

        It follows based on the laws of probability, all the great musicians are old.

        Considering that a large number of artists from the 70’s & 80’s are now Middle Aged & beyond... it’s not really surprising

        They will be missed but their music will live on. Remember the dream never dies just the dream. Song by the cooper brothers.

        Staggering to who? Those who died either were young and heavily into drugs or old and had defied the odds after a lifetime of being heavily into drugs. Further, I haven't noticed a precipitous increase in musicians dropping off of late. Stats?
