Most were older or sick, right? Again, each person's passing is very sad, it just doesn't shock me or make me think that something is out there making celebrities mysteriously die. Maybe people are just more aware and sensitive to it right now than usual?

It's also always been one of my favorite movie musical songs.

    RIP Mr. Presnell...
