16. I know she passed a day BEFORE 2016....

But Natalie Cole "sort of" stared the dearly departed tour unfortunately.

Damn, we still have one more week to go until 2017 is a memory

Can we say that our democracy died when tRumputin was "selected" and "put into" the White House in 2016?

19. Natalie Cole

died on Dec 31st and she was one of my favorites too. Then my heart broke and the tears flowed when I heard that Glenn Fry died. We saw the Eagles in Oct '14 and it was all a bit fresh in my heart and yet thankful I got to see them before he was gone. And the year has absolutely sucked since. George Michael is one of my husband's favorite to the point that every time one of his songs showed up on his player, I jumped to the next song. I was so sick of listening to it and now I feel like crap that he's gone at age 53.

Make it stop please.
