Wow that is a lot. Thank you -- and RIP David Bowie. The others, too, of course. I was thinking Muhammad Ali died circa Bush as potus. Huh. And Elie Wiesel must have been like 90+. Like he was married when he was put in a concentration camp (and his wife was killed thereπŸ™).

I originally thought James Brown was in that year, but he died shortly after I saw him perform in 2005! A great artist, and a horrible human.

Human perception of time is weird.

Agreed. I didn't realize he died so long ago. Tho I am very envious that you saw him perform live.
