Sir_Nigel 10 #1 Posted March 25, 2015 And finally, the headlines say - someone famous died today. The highlights of their life are shown - a leading actor, widely known. You note the loss and carry on, it’s not like someone close is gone. But almost every other day some public face will pass away - a movie star with lasting fame, some faded former household name, a legend in the world of Rock whose early death is such a shock and those the daily papers choose to tuck away with lesser news: entertainers, sit com stars, a character in Z Cars, comedians now seen to be spectacularly un-PC. Some half-remembered name or face can take you to another place and deepening nostalgia grows for long gone teatime kiddies shows, classic dramas, shared delights, and cosy gathered Christmas nights. The passing of the famous lends no mourning as with special friends but still I feel they’ve grown to be perhaps a little bit of me as recollections left behind in dusty corners of the mind. And then with every passing day I find these pieces swept away. Yet still I’m in a healthy state, I know I won’t disintegrate. These memories are merely fluff compared to stronger, deeper stuff But still I’m more aware of how a fading world seems further now.
