Olivia Newton-John, the Australian singer whose breathy voice and wholesome beauty made her one of the biggest pop stars of the '70s and charmed generations of viewers in the blockbuster movie "Grease," died on Monday, according to a statement from her husband. She was 73.

Everybody knows this. But she was loved by many, and I have no problem with lots of threads.

“Dang, that poor old lady died a couple days ago.
What, you resurrected her and made her die again?

Sick, dude.”

1. Calling her an “old lady” is not only insulting to her memory but to all of us who lusted after her as teenagers. Her voice and beauty were legendary.

2. News of her death was overshadowed by the KGB raid on Mar-A-Lago.
