I know what you mean. The death of Bowie really knocked me for six and I am thinking about death a lot. I was thinking the other day "What must it be like to be Paul McCartney in his mid 70's?" What do you think about? Does death begin to permeate every thought? 'I am the last one standing, but soon it will be me'. Do you just have to accept it? How can you? When you are young you are immortal and when your heroes are all dying, the shield is gone. It's terrifying. My wife says it's me and that I think about things too much, but if I am dying with every creak at this age, then god knows what is ahead or how sensitive old people feel. The old guys are all now really old and it feels so strange to be at this point.
