12.08.17 | Great list dude.
It's sad to read and remember, but unfortunately this is the life.

12.08.17 | I included Charles Manson at first since he has albums but yeah, no | Archelirion
12.08.17 | Glen Campbell's passing hit more than I expected it would, given I've never taken a particular interest in his music.
