Well, you
can get it at any age, but there's no escaping the fact that it happens more frequently with age. Whether it's pneumonia or liver cancer or a fall, it's going to start happening to more and more of their contemporaries on a regular basis now.
Dennis Wilson drowning was a shock. Overdoses, car accidents, flukes took their friends away then. But now they have reached the age where losing a peer isn't a shock, it's just nature and instead of happening once every 2 years, it will be happening once a month. I mean at this point we'll be lucky to get out of January without someone else dropping dead who is connected to who they were.
