2016 is beginning to look a lot like the end of the 70s to me. With all the culturally significant figures leaving, it feels so much like the end of an era. It isn't necessarily that I feel old. I feel like things are ending, rapidly. And it feels like we haven't learned anything, that in fact we are currently taking several steps backwards into a Dark Age.
