Filing this under “People I thought were already dead”.

And also “People with a Wikipedia page that was unexpectedly horrifying.”

I’ve always felt mixed emotions about deaths of famous people. I mean are they really more significant than the rest of us? But a singer from 60 years ago? How did he ever live this long?
RIP

This is heartbreaking. Peter, Paul, and Mary were movers of mountains.
