I cried when John Lennon died, and Princess Diana died. Those were biggies to me.

Tupac and Kurt Cobain's deaths were a real shock to me. I also felt awful when Patrick Swayze passed away.

Yeah, Patrick Swayze was sad but in a way it was expected, he had a very bad cancer that not many people survive.

Oooh, I forgot about Mr. Rogers. Oh how I loved that show! And yes, Mr. Muppet man too. I didn't really know too much about Sagan so I guess it didn't affect me when he died.

I am not a crier, but there were a few that gave me moist eyes.

John Lennon, James Brown, Luther Allison (blues), John Lee Hooker (blues), Bob Hope. Curtis Mayfield. Apparently, I feel loss harder with musicians than actors.

Are you kidding me??? When Michael Jackson died, I did not cry, I WEPT! I did not even leave my apartment for days, I was that crushed! I still can't beleive he's gone, it was so devastating...and I don't even know him. I just know his songs and remembered the times we went to clubs dancing to his music...
