Yep, and John Glen too. I'm going to go crawl back into my cave. :(

Susceptibility to cancer has a large genetic component, and he's not far off the peak of the bell curve when it comes to life expectancy. And what does life span have to do with it anyway? Mozart died at 35. He outlived Beethoven too, for that matter. And countless other contemporary musicians.

Hey, I can disagree with his opinion on some things, and still appreciate his contributions. He was a talented musician, and the world is a better place for him having existed. Take a chill pill, and have some respect for the dead.
