I have nothing to add but lots of hugs to anyone of our generation who are realing from these recent passings. I was never an Ozzy fan, but my dad had PD. That is one nasty fucking thing to have.
Luke Perry, Carrie Fisher, Alan Rickman, Prince and Bowie, I BAWLED. They were so much a part of my growing up, my childhood, my formative teenage years.
I've never been an Ozzy fan either, but certainly would never wish parkinson's on anyone. I'm just holding my breath with Michael J. Fox 😞 Loved everyone you mentioned, huge fan of Alan Rickman for sure, also when Robin Williams and John Candy passed away. Big hugs!
Well written, John. I thought yesterday about how Hulk Hogan’s public persona changed as I grew up from naive kid (the I’m a Real American” hero stuff) to the post-college rebellion (when he turned bad again for nwo) and then to middle aged realist (all the many flaws of Terry Bollea). One of the most significant people from the 80s. You can’t tell the story of the 80s without Hulk Hogan.

Beautifully written, John. You’ve captured the bittersweet ache of growing older with such warmth and honesty. Such a nice piece.
Thank you Jon, I greatly appreciate that 🙏
