It’s happened again

Someone prolific and famous has died and yet, I’m still hearing him. Odder yet, I still see him on occasion. And this has been the background of my life, of all of my generation‘s lives. The dead haunt us far more than any age before. I can turn on the television and see ghosts. I hear their voices as I drive to work and while at work.

Sure music and books and more remain from by gone eras but they’re still and unmoving. Never before has so much been preserved and kept with us, for better and worse, than in the past century or so.

And they complain that we’re a generation of nostalgia, forever looking back. How could we be anything else, the past was there from the moment we were birthed, animated for us to wonder at, ever growing as we were.

Anyhow, I can’t believe the patriarch of metal went out with a whimper like this. It’ll never be the same now that we don’t have that lodestone.

#generational gap #a different age #I think I first noticed this when looking up the cast of MASH #they were all aged or dead #but surely not I thought #I can see them young and sort as can be #right there mere feet away from me
