I'm 57, and it's astounding to me that I've grown older than a lot of folks I've admired. I always thought Zappa was older when he died. John Lennon, gone at 40?

Indeed. I was recently reminded that Jerry Garcia was only 53 when he died. That blew my mind.

Yeah, I didn’t mean to pile on!

Lennon is one of those huge “what if” people. What if he had lived decades longer, or were still alive today like McCartney or Dylan? I’m sure he would have continued to surprise us.
