JFK, Bobby, and MLK were quite a run when I was young. My parents were shocked and all the uncertainty with the Cold War and the threat of nuclear war not to mention all the tension of race relations in the country.

Derrick Thomas affected me the most personally. I was most surprised by Michael Jackson I guess? The way Payne Stewart died on that plane really bothered me.

We as kids went on being kids doing what we did then. We did pick up our parent's concerns at the dinner table.

Derrick Thomas. Seemed like he was getting better. I was even having pipe dreams that he'd be able to recover and play again and then one of my buddies called to tell me he was gone.
Robin Williams, Brad Delp of Boston and comedian Richard Jeni, because they were all suicides. And even though he was really old, Leonard Nimoy, just because he was Leonard Nimoy. |

I remember a lot of them but the only one that impacted me emotionally was Pau Dones.
I know most of you won't know who he was but his music was a big part of my life and I always liked hearing him speak in interviews. I was lucky enough to see him in concert a few years ago and he was so charming on stage. Smiling, laughing, blowing kisses to the crowd... all knowing he had terminal cancer. He gave an interview just a couple of weeks before his passing. The cancer had withered him physically and he was on oxygen and he still spoke positively about living life to the fullest. An inspiring man. Descanso en paz, Pau. |

In terms of real celebrities, I generally don't connect that much with celebrities so I don't really get upset or anything. I remember the DT thing because it was unexpected, but even then he'd had the injury before the death so the death itself was dampened. When Danny Federici died as the first member of the E Street Band, that may have been the one that affected me the most. But again, I wasn't devastated or anything. I was out to dinner when the Princess Diana thing happened. I got home and turned on the TV, and had no idea what was happening because the news coverage was showing the car and doing a lot of "they're at the hospital" talk, and they weren't saying who was in the accident since I was joining the coverage late. So I was watching that coverage somewhat intently because I knew it must have been someone famous, but I didn't know who.

Princess Diana was a bit stunning because it was so unexpected. Am I remembering correctly... was Diana the same day as the Grbac to Rison 4th quarter game winning bomb?
