“What makes you feel old is when most of your friends are gone.”

True, them and family members.

Though stars, celebs, musicians and so on are more universal since more people will feel the same at a passing.

Also, many people associate events/people from their younger years with misc pop culturisms - music, movies, TV and such. For example, a person can vividly connect a special someone, a place and time with a certain artist singing this/that song.

And when that artist dies, it’s also a death of part of a memory.

I heard him on Eddie Trunk’s Show a couple of times. He seemed like a good guy.

Holy moly.

Taylor struggled with serious drug addiction his whole life. Grohl helped him going back to his younger years. No doubt its related.

Taylor Hawkins, young athletic man, keels over at age 50.
You have to be in good shape to be the drummer for the Foo Fighters. So I'm not saying it was The Jab...But it was The Jab!!!

(until proven otherwise) Same for Bob Saget.

We had a cat named Devon who lived to be 22 yearls old (that’s OLD for a cat). In his latter few years he looked so bad that we started calling him Keith Richards.

No. He’ll be 80 next year. And 180 a century after that, by most accounts.
