OT, Dale "Buffin" Griffin has died at age 67. RIP
 

This is getting strange. Entertainers I liked are dying this month and their ages are all in the same range. Late 60's and early 70's. Griffin was the drummer of the band Mott the Hoople. You may have heard a song by them and never known the name of the band because it was all over. The band also had a connection to David Bowie who also just passed away. I'm getting paranoid. o_O

Pay attention to the clothing on the band members and in the scenes of young people from the 1970's. ^_^

I'd imagine statistics of entertainers deaths would show maybe a 10 year
plus lower life span. Alcohol, drugs, smoking, inconsistent work and
sleep schedules are probably the main contributors to their early demise.

With some of them it is surprising that they live as long as they do.

Look at their antics on TMZ which follows some of the creepier around.
Train wrecks waiting to happen, e.g. Charlie Sheen.

It all worked for Willie Nelson. He's 82 and still ticking although he's
slowed down a little lately.

Saw Mott the Hoople (1971) in Frankfurt, Germany. They opened for
Humble Pie. Many great British rock bands. Took the train back to
Schweinfurt, to find out I was going home. Nixon gave many of us a six
month early discharge from the Army.

He's the only person I heard of that snorted part of his father's
cremated remains. He admitted it. I guess when we see his obituary,
our time is coming an end, soon.

Got released early (February) instead of waiting until June.

Without looking, my DD-214 says Feb 2, 1972. Were you drafted to?

The recent deaths I've noticed have been cancer. Other than
smoking:lung connection I don't think sex, drugs, and rock n roll is
much of a risk factor for many cancers.

All the obits has me thinking that we've reached maturity of the Age of
Celebrity. With a large and growing pool of people with a public
presence which has been growing long enough that enough folks are "aging
out" that I expect soon that someone well-known will die every day. Not
sure how that will last. Is fame a finite resource?

It seems to me that if they get off the drugs early enough it acts as a
preservative for these critters. IDK
