And another piece of my youth disappears. How sad. RIP Aretha ...
As a child of the '60s (and current 21st century fossil), the aging and passing of these celebrities is an ongoing reminder that the fun doesn't last forever, or really for very long at all for that matter.
If Elvis were alive today, he'd be 83; John Lennon 78 and Jim Morrison 75.
Hell, it was noted a few days ago that even the "modern" pop star Madonna had turned 60.
