Mrs Secure can't understand why I get upset when "someone you don't know from Adam dies".

You're upset because you "knew" them through what they did, their books, films TV shows, music, contributions to the public etc...., and also when the people you "grew up" with die, it is a reminder that you're getting closer to being in that position yourself.

As per my very first post in this thread.

And there were quite a few. Motown was the big thing in my early teens before progressing to 'proper' music. Only in the last couple of years I've revisited it and in particular the Four Tops, and some of their best were Holland Dozier numbers.

Very sad. First symptoms were chills that multiplied, then started losing control. Wonder if it was Covid?

Aah. My son, when he was very young, burst out crying when he first saw this and the snowman melted at the end. His son did the same!
