Looks like Rock Hudson and Freddy Mercury are the big two for the first question (thank god I didn’t say Liberace) – do you think there’s a generational difference?

  10. Til death doo us part

Maybe. I was going back and forth between those two. Actually, my first FIRST thought was Arthur Ashe but I thought no one would say him…

ETA: I’m 24. I mainly chose Mercury because I figured we’d have a lot of Queen fans here.

I really thought John Lennon for #2 was going to be close to a conch. I guess it is because it happened in the USA is the reason behind the low responses.

I think it is the most famous successful assassination in my lifetime.

  1. Rock Hudson
  2. Idi Amin
  3. JFK Jr.
  4. Ted Bundy
  5. Chris Farley
  6. Kurt Cobain

  9. Princess Diana
  10. death becomes her

I think of that as a murder, not an assassination. I guess I only use “assassination” for political figures.

I was waffling between Rock Hudson and Freddie Mercury. I remember when the Rock Hudson news came out it was a big deal because he was, as I remember it, the first “big name” to die of AIDS. So, while Mercury’s death meant more to me, Hudson’s was the first I thought of. I’m 37.
