Ozzy and Len Dawson are still doing ok, so I haven't had a celebrity death bother me too much. Lamar was a big deal though.

Did anyone else here have the same heart-felt reaction I did? It registered a 4 on the emotional scale for about an hour.
If not Robin Williams', what celebrity passing hit you hardest? Can't think of one that hit particularly hard to where it affected my mood the next day. Is there any prior celebrity death that you think had such a widely emotional reaction? Elvis, John Wayne, Jack Benny (not sure why I remember this one, but I'm pretty sure it was a big deal at the time), Princess Di, John Lennon, Jacko come to mind. |

I just don't care. Every few years a celebrity will die and the public and media will go into some mass hysteria freakout like JFK just got assassinated again.
It's like a competition where everybody tries to prove they are the most mournful or something. |

A few individuals that actually made me sad when they passed: Derrick Thomas, Steve Irwin, Junior Seau, Chris Farley, Macho Man, Michael Jackson and for some odd reason Warren G.
Note* I said individuals, most are not celebrities so

Jacko's death was big, but for me, the one that affected me most was DT. I was just in a fog all day. Came home and cried and slept for two hours. It was hard to deal with his injury from the crash, but that was off the charts. That was the day I decided I shouldn't use the internet at work, unless I needed to.

When I saw that Dan Fogelberg had died on MSN, I closed out my web browser, laid in bed for maybe an hour, and took the longest nap of my life. I felt like my heart was ripped out.

Another one that hit me was Chris Hitchens. Even though I had converted to Christianity a couple of years prior to him dying, I was still a huge fan of his work.
