Forthcoming
Not a lot of famous people died on this day in history, although at least two Belgian pianists committed suicide in 1994. Richard McDonald somehow made it to 89 years old. Meredith MacRae, Madalina Manole, Eva Janikovszky, Cicely Saunders, Julie Manet, I miss you. Without a doubt, it's easier not to know someone. Billy the Kid, Adlai Stephenson. A few more hours and everything will change—Tom Thumb, Tex Schramm, Roberto Bolano, Gianni Versace, Julia Lennon. What would an even distribution of famous ends look like? Are there more famous people alive today than ever before? I was born on the same day as Gwen Stefani, Richard Nixon, Neve Campbell, Dave Winfield, Al Sharpton, Chubby Checker, and Ashlee Simpson. Please help me write the end of this poem after I'm dead.
