I guess folks are living longer these days.
Oh well, here are some reminders for Dec. 8:

Jim Morrison is born in Melbourne, Florida, 1943
John Lennon is shot and killed in New York City, 1980



EDIT -- I had meant to post these a few days ago, but never got around to it:

Dec. 4
Tommy Bolin dies of a heroin overdose in Miami, 1976
Frank Zappa dies in his Laurel Canyon home shortly before 18:00, 1993

(interestingly perhaps, on Dec. 4th the Montreux [Switzerland] Casino burned down during a Frank Zappa concert in 1971 -- as immortalized by Deep Purple's song "Smoke On The Water").


Dec. 5
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart dies in Vienna, Austria, 1791
