re: #73 Belafon

I suspect we’re going to be hating the years a lot from now on. Boomers were the first really well documented generation. Television made a lot of people stars. Because music shifted from being just about the song to also being about the artist, we know the names of a lot more people than we did before. So, we’re going to be hearing a lot. And we’re reaching the early part of the age curve for boomers.

A big part of my job is writing obituaries.
I’ve been hating years for quite some time now because more and more often I’m writing obituaries for friends and acquaintances.
This week, I wrote two (both people with whom I had worked) that fall into that category.

It sucks…
