- Yeah, it’s going to kill a lot of otherwise healthy people. -- nm - mafic Apr 1, 16:47
- Yeah, I get the reason to "justify" it as a way of feeling safe -- (edited) - Reagen Apr 1, 16:46 1
  - I have heart issues also, so I look to see if it was someone my age with heart issues. -- nm - Bacon Apr 1, 16:47
- I only focus on it when it's someone my age. -- nm - Bacon Apr 1, 16:46 2
  - Like Luke Perry's stroke. - Cuzzin Todd Apr 1, 17:30 1

        Always loved this one, and apparently Katy Perry 1) did an MTV Unplugged and 2) covered this. -- nm - Tim Apr 1, 17:18
  - Fountains of Wayne only really had one hit, but he was incredibly prolific. - Tim Apr 1, 16:46 5

        I don't think that disc survived the great purge either so I might have to buy that one. -- nm - Tim Apr 1, 16:50 1
        
        It’s on Spotify. My physical copy is back in Georgia. I didn’t bring any CDs with me. -- nm - Qale Apr 1, 16:55
