Maybe it’s my age bracket and rose colored glasses but I feel that 2015 was a good year. (My personal situation has improved since, but that’s just part of gaining seniority).
Remember all the famous people who died in 2016? They took a good exit.
2015 was only a good year in relative terms. Of course you might call the moment before you stepped in the biggest pile of dogshit you’ve ever seen “good times” while you’ve still got 300 pounds of it stuck to your shoe.
A lot of well known people who were influential to millennials and boomers both. Statistically i don’t think it was an oddity but it felt like it and trump was the icing on the cake.
Wow that is a lot. Thank you – and RIP David Bowie. The others, too, of course. I was thinking Muhammad Ali died circa Bush as potus. Huh. And Elie Wiesel must have been like 90+. Like he was married when he was put in a concentration camp (and his wife was killed there🙁).

Wow – only 88!!! That’s nuts!
I originally thought James Brown was in that year, but he died shortly after I saw him perform in 2005! A great artist, and a horrible human.
Human perception of time is weird.
Agreed. I didn’t realize he died so long ago. Tho I am very envious that you saw him perform live.
