    Yes, a morbid subject, in a way. But I got to thinking, who are going to be the ones who will really affect us? Because we already know friends and family are at the top of the list- but for those we, perhaps, admire, which of them will affect us the most (if they happen in our lifetime)?

    I would say the one that would bother me the most would be Bruce Springsteen. Maybe Gene Hackman.

    You know, maybe this isn't the best idea for a thread. Ugh.

    For me I'm not sure because I'm not really affected by the death of old celebrities partially due to the fact that they've already had an opportunity to live a full life and partly due to it being less likely that they have a lot more to give. What I mean by that is that it was a significantly greater loss when Kurt Cobain died than when David Bowie died at least in my opinion. Looking at it that way, they'd have to be fairly young, so I'm not sure who it would be.

    Donald Trump, but it will affect me in a happy way. Positivity for a morbid thread! :)

    Absolutely they count- that would be very difficult.

    I feel like losing Tom Hanks would be pretty surreal

    Ive pondered this topic in the past, and I've ALWAYS said that the passing of Conan would be a great tragedy. Such a genuinely whimsical person. He's one of those people who are always young at heart. It's tough to see them go
