I don't want to sound inflammatory, and please don't take this as an attack, but I always wonder why people make a big deal out of it when celebrities die young. I mean, sure, some of these people are very talented, but a lot of young people with great talents die all the time, and nobody cares, simply because their talents are not the sort that garner fame.

I don't know why, but this just bothers me, somehow.
