Neil Peart and Ric Ocasek hit me the hardest. Prince also.
The reaction after Kobe Bryant's tragic death left me stunned. I get his accomplishments and the tragedy that his daughter was involved, but seeing fans crying in front of the Staples Center in LA did raise some questions about what we as a society have become, and especially on social media. People are obsessed with celebrities. When that Ukrainian airliner was shot down, there was not much of a reaction. And what pissed me off even more was the fact that those other seven passengers on that helicopter were barely mentioned.
