[quote=Anonymous]I always thought this was bizarre (maybe kind of stupid?) too, until recently. Now that I'm older, when certain celebrities die it is like they take a piece of my life with them. When Prince died, I remembered the night in MS when my friend and I stayed up all night and she permed my hair -- we were listening to Purple Rain over and over. With Prince gone, it felt like that night was a world and lifetime away. I didn't really mourn Prince as I didn't know him, I mourned the end of an era and the end of a part of myself with it. It doesn't surprise me that people would react to Matthew Perry like this -- (for better or for worse) his show Friends is a real cultural touchstone for a lot of people. [/quote]
