@dan. For those of us who have reached "a certain age," this coming decade will be replete with sadness as many of our heroes and heroines in the fields of music, film, television, books, theater, and other artistic areas will be "shuffling off this mortal coil" and moving on to a different realm. And that includes us: the old fogies, the baby boomers, those who made idols of all these talented people we came to love and appreciate. Thanks, Bob and Pete, for recognizing their passing when it has occurred. RIP to each and every one.
