Re: Famous People Who Died in 2016
It's not too surprising if you think about it
it was television and radio which created the modern version of 'celebrity'. Previous to that, it was pretty impossible for anybody to become world famous within their lifetime.
Global TV really started in the late 1950's, so people who got on there became the first world celebrities. As it was the only medium for this there were less 'celebrities' than in our internet age, and thus more focus on them.
Naturally, that first generation are now in their seventies and are popping their clogs. The ones that died young were in the minority, so there isn't the cumulative effect we see now of many people naturally passing away at a proper age.
I am therefore not surprised. Statistically we should expect to see more celebrity deaths in the next few years, before the line smoothed out to become more uniform every year.
If God wanted us to be vegetarians, why are animals made of meat ?
