I wasn’t going to go that far, but I think if you asked most people to list the most prominent musicians who achieved stardom in the 1970s, Bowie would be comfortably in the top ten. You would have to have been studiously avoiding pop music from at least 1973 to 1980 to not know who he was.
OMG every one is dying!
Well it seems once a day now that I am getting death alert email on celebrities-Dan Hagerty this time!
Who’s Dan Hagerty?
Yeah, there’s a lot of that going on…
John Belushi– One of my sisters, born 1943, was completely clueless. (I’m 8 years younger.)
Saturday Night Live?
He was in movies, too?
There was talk about more serious movies?
But at least she didn’t act proud that she had never heard of him.
Hmm. I posted a link, just in case some of the young whippersnappers here had never heard of him.
Nearly 34 years ago for his death… I knew it was a while back, but somehow I hadn’t figured on over a third of a century…
Boy, do I feel…
Read my post immediately preceding the one you quoted. 
He was “The Old Man” in the original “Robocop” (1987).
really? I dont remember that but I remember Grizzly Adams!
^ I should have known better than to think that joke would work twice.
Most people are less than 77 years old, and the news media caters to the masses. I am also 77, and I have “Sound and Vision” in one of my YouTube playlists.
Most of the people who were important and influential to you and me are already dead. which would make relevant obituaries of celebrities extinct.
That’s similar to Working class hero by Elton John/Green Day in the fact that both versions are excellent.
Yup, silly me, you mentioned it.:). Credit due where it is deserved.
