WTF is going on this year with celebrity deaths? Just one huge star after another it seems...

This will be the new norm. Moreso than ever in the history of mankind we "know" more people. From stars of old shows we used to watch in reruns, to stars that made up our childhood; from old school artists to those that were hip in your generation, there's just more names to know. TV and radio really expanded the number of people in our collective consciousness and as TV and radio age so do the stars. Mr. Wilder was 83. That's a long life. It sadly won't be long before it seems that every day some mega star is passing away. This doesn't mean anything other than the simple fact that no one lives forever. I truly expect 2017 to take just as many legends as 2016 did, and 2018 after that.
