i remember when i was 6 in 1977 seeing people bawl their eyes out when elvis died...

None really. I mean yeah it is we*rd when celebrities from our childhood pass away but I didn't know any of them personally.

@Punches The only deceased celebrity personality, that I met in person and not in the autograph line was Owen Hart. WWF was in town at the Wisconsin Center Arena in 1998.
Me and some friends were at a Denny's and who just so happens to walk in. Owen Hart and Davey Boy Smith of the British Bulldogs.

Sadly Owen Hart had that falling accident about a year later. 🫡

Edit- Okay, so apparently Davey Boy passed in 2002 a little bit later.

Well not the sassy man but the other two.

@Punches Lol I remember that commercial 🤣.
But yeah, those dudes were over-proportional fucking huge. I would've like to have seen the servers get around them.
