Sorry to post this on Christmas, but...
It is with heavy heart that I read that we lost another great talent.
I wish I could hear what Prince, Bowie, and Michael come up with. They will be missed.
Wow, now I'm almost concerned that there's about a week left in the year. I had hoped we were done with such deaths.
I am gonna miss him.
May he rest peacefully.
A tremendous talent. He'll be missed.
I keep seeing comments like these, and I keep thinking that these people died of various causes -- the year itself is not a sentient being that murdered them.
All that said, I kind of liked George Michael. Sorry to see him go.
I guess you never have a 'bad day' or a 'bad week', either?
...and then anthropomorphized it to the point where I demanded revenge against a unit of time?
Clarification: There's a difference between (a) noting a statistically large number of unfortunate occurrences within a given interval, vs. (b) actually blaming that interval for those occurrences.
