Not a celebrity…
I’m not so sure about that. It depends on whether or not you think celebrity is a good thing. He’s not an entertainer or a role model, but he’s certainly a well-known person (at least in the US).
Either way, his death is noteworthy, but I didn’t think it warranted starting a “Terrible People’s Deaths” thread.
Charles Manson was a “celebrity” in the loosest sense of the term.
If they are well-known in the eyes of the public–whether they’re loved or hated–they’re a celebrity, like it or not.
It makes me think about whether we’re closer to a Manson-esque race war now than at the time of the Tate murders.
RIP Mikio Fujioka. This dude was a sick guitarist. Died at the age of 36, and not from drugs, sex, and rock and roll like you would expect. He fell off of an observation deck by accident. Left behind two daughters. Fuck.

This seems to happen every once in awhile. A celebrity I’ve never heard of passes away. But then the reaction to it is HUGE. I’m still seeing posts about Dolores in all my feeds. So I go to check out the Cranberries on Spotify because I clearly am missing out on something. Then I dislike the music and I feel like a bad person.

You’ve never heard of the Cranberries, I know you were a teen in the 90’s… how did you miss that?
Not only have I never heard of them, I have never heard them. I did not recognize any of the songs on Spotify. If you asked me who the Cranberries were I would guess they were a band simply because that sounds like the name of a band.

To be fair, I’m only a few years younger than Rubin, and I didn’t knowing hear a Smashing Pumpkins song until a couple years ago.
We all have blind spots.
I also probably overestimate the amount others straddled scenes in high school and such. Since I was hanging with the theater/stage crew group and the geek/nerds I ended up getting exposed to stuff some of you nerds probably didn’t encounter… NERDS :-p
I probably heard Zombie 100 times on MTV alone as a kid.
