It is astonishing that mild tranquil persons who lived such clean, calm lives would succumb so young.

They would be alive if they had eaten 100% veggies.

Keith Richards and Artie Lang would like a word with your theories

Today Chuck Mangione checked out.  Him and all the other '70's radio instrumentalists like Herb Alpert and George Benson got me into jazz before I knew what jazz was.

Damn Chuck too! The music world taking big losses right now. Hogan on the other hand... I'll admit I was a huge fan in the 80's & 90's with his OG "Real American" & "Hollywood" runs. However the more that came out about how he was backstage & in his personal life has made me much less of a fan. Still sad to see him go, his methods might have not been the fairest, but my man really did rule the pro wrestling world for almost 3 decades! Ozzy is the one that hits me the hardest as listening to my mom's old Black Sabbath records is what got me into heavy metal. Then the unworldly guitar playing of Randy Rhoads is what convinced me to pick up a guitar. Not to mention I was almost wholly convinced Ozzy would outlive everyone & still be playing Sabbath reunion concerts with holograms of Tony, Geezer, & Bill in 2100!

convinced Ozzy would outlive everyone

Watching their TV show, if you had told me that he would still be alive 20 years later I would have scoffed ....

Just sayin'

Ahh yes Ozzy's oxys days... Very true, I can not argue that. I was feeling like he was knocking on death's door then too. Although the fact he was not only still alive & kicking even after that quad wreck, then even got back to touring kinda me forget about those times NGL.

Although I grew up watching Hulk on the tele, I'm not a wrestling fan, so his passing didn't hit me very much. But Ozzy and Mangione, for sure. The album Paranoid was my intro into Sabbath and, consequently, the rest of metal genre. Hell gained another angel, that's for sure. Ozzy and Ronnie James Dio are selling out unholy arenas down there.

The primary reason everyone is dying so quickly, is the recent social media driven proliferation of Atkins/Keto/Carnivore dieting.

It's a stupid fad, but it rapidly accelerates the onset of atherosclerosis of the heart and brain-microvasculature (dementia/alzheimer like symptoms).

I've never been a fan of "Wrestling" and the more I hear about it, the less I like it.

I read some stats, that of the 22 wrestlers in the Wresttlemania in 1985, only 10 are alive today.
The oldest Wrestlemania from which all contestants are still alive was in 2008. Pretty crazy.
