Great. I’ve outlived Beethoven and a bunch of freaking Nazis who were executed.
Very reassuring.
I am also about a month older than Jim Jones and Joseph Goebbels were when they died.
Anton Chekov.
Though when I read the title I thought the subject would be was “Who have you outlived… (of my contemporaries)” and my first thought was of Kurt Cobain.
I’ve outlived Pablo Escobar by a week. Which is reassuring.
Looks like Moonlithereal won’t have to wait… 
George Gershwin by 3 weeks.

I’ve just outlived Sam Kinison, Emma Lazarus and journalist Daniel Pearl. In the next week I’ll have outlived Roberto Clemente and Mary Wollstonecraft.
Lots of folks. Nobody I immediately recognize right around my age–there’s a gap of a couple months between entries that I fall into. But I’ve outlived Lorraine Hansberry by almost exactly a year. And the guy my town and county are named for by a touch over a year and a half. Over the next few months I will catch up to Wiley Post, Guy Fawkes, Mozart, and Stevie Ray Vaughn.
If I can live to Monday, I tie Mama Cass.
Well, I never have to worry about being Forever 27, but at 31, I’m 2 months older then Left Eye (TLC) and 2 weeks older then John Dillinger. (who apparently can be played by a 45+ year old Johnny Depp, but I haven’t seen the movie.
I’m reminded of Tom Leherer’s line: “When Mozart was my age, he’d been dead for three years.”
I outlived John Keats about a week ago.

J. Robert Oppenheimer was almost a week younger than you when he died on February 18, 1967. He was a physicist who was considered the father of the atomic bomb. You were 18 years old when he died.
Both my parents, and the years I outlived them felt odd. My mom was in her early forties and my dad in his fifties.
Bob Marley, Lord Byron, and Maximilien Robespierre
I guess I’m past the expiration date for passionate romantics…
At your exact age, Eddie Cochran died in an auto accident. He was a 1950s rockabilly guitarist and singer/songwriter.

Gregory Hines
None of them reached my 57 years, 229 days…

A couple literary folks:
Antoine de Saint Exupéry, by almost a week, and Robert Louis Stevenson by two weeks.
I’ve also outlived Pablo Escobar by a whole month.
