Two famous musicians died in short succession - the second more famous than the first, yes.

Since I clearly spend far too much time among superstitious Americans 
, I had to think of the three deaths thing. Alan Rickman doesn't really fit the theme, but okay, since BG and myself had already mentally connected Bowie with Lemmy, and you post connecting Rickman with Bowie, well, that makes three then.
View original postIf we're reaching that far down into "celebrity" for counting deaths, I just googled and found a lot more than three who have passed since the first of the year.
Didn't you see the news reports about Lemmy's funeral and who attended, or the news websites providing full-length video of Dave Grohl's eulogy? I'm sure much of that attention, just like with Bowie, is from people who have little or no appreciation for the man (which I don't have either - I know, and don't even particularly like, precisely one song by him). But it was still a plenty big deal in the media, if not as big as Bowie a bit later.
View original postAlso to both you and BG: Hang your heads in SHAME! That 3 death thing makes me want to throttle people. It is such a silly thing that is so nebulous in its application that it's just....worthless.
No argument on that.
Well, Martin must be writing the script for 2016!

I agree. I think Bowie is more relevant as a cultural phenomenon than as a musician.
