2016 isn't the summit.  It's going to get worse my friends....christ, just think about the artists, musicians, and actors who are still living into their 60-80s now.  No, it's going to get worse. 

I watched interviews with Joni, Grace, Stills, and others lately....they look so old.  I fear 2016 is but a prelude to the 60s and 70s gens passing.

The baby boomers are getting old and there's no doubt about that. 
Drugs and alcohol have always been a part of the entertainment industry lifestyle.
Those who partied hard in their youth (and later) are going to have health issues when they get older.
Carrie Fisher had substance abuse problems for most of her life and she was part of the John Belushi
party crowd back in the day.

I still love Watership Down.

2016 cannot end soon enough.

RIP.

If you were to tell me I would be profoundly affected by a book about rabbits, I would have told you to "silflay hraka". But Richard Adams' novel "Watership Down", an unlikely epic quest of a band of disillusioned rabbits, was one of the great fantasy books of the 1970s, and now Mr. Adams is gone. Granted, he was 96 years old, but this whole 2016 death pool thing has got me melancholy.

I just picked up an Alphonse Johnson album today (Yesterday's Dreams) mistaking him for Alphonse Mouzon, then I come here and hear he's passed?  Alphonse was a gas.....he's a legend on the basis of his work on the Eleventh House albums alone.

Yeah, I understand the pop idols and guitar gods are hitting a certain age, but in 2016 they're all seem to be going before their time.....RIP Alphonse, sorry for mixing you up with the other Weather Report drummer (be well Alphonse Johnson).  
I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

Very true, although for me the shock of 2016 has been the surprise deaths. It seems there were way more than usual and much younger than expected. Although look at Zsa Zsa Gabor, 99 yrs old at her time of passing...You go girl!! Other than probably a social drinker at the many parties she attended in her life, I don't think she got into drugs at anytime...I could be wrong.

Clapton is another one that is looking rather fragile......and we know the volume of drugs he did.

2016 played its last chord... William Christopher, an actor known from M*A*S*H, died yesterday of cancer. He was 84.

I was out of town Christmas and just saw your post.  I am devastated.  I loved the Eleventh House (Larry Coryell) and at the height of their success he (Mouzon) was in that rare class of drummers (Billy Cobham, Lenny White, etc.).  R.I.P.
