How Old Would They Be Now?
Back in January, 2008 I did an article on how young many of the icons of my generation were when they died. I figure it’s time to see how old these people would be today had they lived. Below is a list of names, how young they were when they died and what age they would be today.

Holy H. Particular on a bicycle... was it really that long ago? Dang now I feel really really old. Just imagine some of the concerts we could have seen had they lived. Imagine Jim and Jimi and Janis on stage with the Stones doing a remake of "Gimme Shelter". That would have been awesome. They all went too early. Fame is a bitch.
I got really saddened by reading these names over coffee this morning. Rat bastard.
Dennis Hopper would still be 74
Darev, I actually have a bootleg of Jim, Jimi and Janis working together.
Auntie, get over it. As long as you and I are still alive is all that matters.
Anon, The good go young, don't they?
