The dude lived 70 years and was incredibly wealthy and had a great life. It's something to celebrate not grieve.
I only grieve people who die young and had their lives unecessarily cut short. When old people pass, we should celebrate their lives; grieving the natural order of things is pointless.
"The dude" was like a father figure to many, like me. Please understand that many of us are celebrating the life he lived, our time with him, as well as grieving that we will no longer hear his voice behind the Golden EIB microphone.
You say grieving is pointless, but that's so patently untrue and, frankly, unkind. Grieving a loss is one of the hallmarks of humanity. Find yours, please, before making such unsympathetic comments in the future. For surely someone would grieve you on that unfortunate day, while celebrating the time they spent knowing you.
Rush did live a remarkable and incredible life. I will be celebrating him and his impact upon myself and the world at large for years to come. However, yesterday was about loss. It was about sharing in that grief with like minded people who loved Rush as I did. As I do. Your comment lacked in everything I claimed it did and expect from someone on the GAW as well as what you claimed. If that skid mark you call a comment was your attempt at banter then I weep for your family. Banter and brevity may be acceptable to lighten the mood and alleviate the bitter sting of loss, but there is a time and a place. The time is most certainly not the day of that loss. I'll let you figure out the place. More importantly, you MUST have a rapport with that person to understand if your attempt at banter or brevity is appropriate or even welcome. Yours was neither.
Death is of course part of life. All things must end, just as all lives lived must pass. The inevitability of life's ending does mean we should become blasé to that ending. Acknowledging and commiserating in the grief of loss is to reinforce our humanity. Please remember yours in the future.
This is exactly what I'm talking about. How would you feel if a man you looked upon like a father figure died and some schmuck told you to either get laid or jack off? Hmm? You must real great at funerals. You only disgrace yourself with these vulgar attempts at humor and levity.

Dude just have a wank and let the stress out. You're very uptight mate.

I wash my hands of you.
I cheer people up at funerals. We celebrate life and tell some jokes about the deceased. :)
