Two Down...Who's Next?

Just checked the news and found that two legends died today:

John Lee Hooker was one of the most influential blues artists of all time. Though I am not a dedicated blues listener (My good friend Derek knows a lot more about him than I do and has many of his recordings), I enjoyed listening to that growly, gravelly voice.

Carroll O'Connor also passed away. He played the cranky blowhard Archie Bunker to such perfection, many people believed him to be like that in real life. His was the first show I remember my mother telling me I couldn't watch. So I watched it every chance I could get.

Celebrity deaths usually come in threes...so who's next? You can always keep track of who shuffled off this mortal coil at ObituariesToday.com. Sort of creepy, but cool at the same time.
