Don’t Worry: It’s Perfectly Okay Not To Feel Anything When A Big Celebrity Dies

For my friends who’ve been saying this week that the deaths of Bacall and Williams don’t affect them at all, here’s a comment from The Dish: ‘Thanks to Elizabeth Nolan Brown for her eloquent essay on Robin Williams. This reminds me of when Princess Diana died. I found out when I walked to the corner store to buy the newspaper. I read the headline and thought “Shit, that’s too bad” and didn’t give it another thought. Then the worldwide hysteria erupted and it was all Diana, all the time. I just didn’t understand what the big deal was. My wife, friends and family thought I was incredibly callous to have almost no reaction to Diana’s death.’
