In my lifetime, there have been three musical acts that went beyond mere popularity and became bigger than show business itself and became cultural icons.... Elvis Presley, The Beatles and Michael Jackson. Sad life.

Agreed. I started a thread in the Turf about the three recent celebrity deaths.

I think of another song - Richard Cory - on Simon & Garfunkels second album.
