How so?
Just curious. I've never thought of any famous people as family members, except maybe Jean Stapleton as Edith Bunker because she reminded me a lot of my great aunt Ruth.
You forget you're talking to the certifiable crazy lady here. She has Lennon, Bono and Diana over for dinner every Sunday. Doesn't matter that 2 are loooong dead, she still has them for Sunday dinner. You can't reason with the crazy lady.
You evil cow! They are/were real people and I could relate to their humanity and kindness. As for the living, they are just people, yes some are well known. Big deal so what?
HoTD, I was deeply affected by John Lennon's death. It was like the death of a personal friend. I was still a young teenager and my parents knew me enough to know how deeply this had affected me. Obviously crying, sad and a very heart wrenching time. At the time I was grounded for being caught skipping school to go to a KISS concert, all punishments were immediately removed because of this catastrophic event. Some days I still am haunted by that day.
