contemplativeRIP John Lennon. The list of sudden and unexpected celebrity deaths is long—Princess Di, Heath Ledger, Kurt Cobain, Marilyn Monroe, and many more. Which one affected you the most on an emotional level?
He seemed like one of those people it would be cool to hang out with, not because of some celebrity crush, but because I tend to think of celebrities as real people with real lives outside their celebrity status, and I wonder what they're like outside that life. I was sad not just to learn of his death but to find out that he had problems severe enough that they lead to his death. I typically want to believe the best of people and wish the best for them. He was also only two years older than me, to the month.
