We're Losing Our Icons

Published on July 6, 2004 By Lenbert In Current Events

I am in a melancholy mood.

Our Icons are succumbing to their mortality.

We have lost Harrison, Entwhistle, DeForest Kelley, Reagan, Hope and Brando in the last 12 months.

Michael J. Fox has Parkinson's.

And today I read that James Doohan, "Scotty" from the original Star Trek series, has Alzheimer's.

It makes me wonder who the "icons" will be 20, 30, 40 years from now. Spears? Slim Shady?
