I have a friend of mine who's a big classic rock and older music fan, and I've been contacted several times as we have lost Bowie and Prince and innumerable others this year. The friend has basically said to me on several occasions: "All hail 2016. We just lost..."
Now, it appears it's sports' turn: A week after losing Muhammad Ali -- and on the day they honored him in Louisville -- Gordie Howe is dead.
If you don't know of Gordie Howe and his contributions to hockey for many decades, you don't know why they called him Mr. Hockey. He even had a scoring anomaly named after him -- even though he only performed the "Gordie Howe Hat Trick" twice. (A goal, an assist, and a fighting major.)
I am really getting the impression something catastrophic is about to go down in our culture. I'm not talking an individual act here -- I'm talking TEOTWAWKI or something to that effect. We're literally losing everybody, and one has to wonder what's next!!!
