Died Young. What is the cut off age?


I consider 39 to be fairly young, but to say someone 39 died young doesn’t sound right.

I’m going to go with 35.

It keeps going up. I remember when I was a kid and Michael Landon died. He was 54. He seemed pretty old to me at the time. Not too long ago some celebrity who was in their 50's died and somebody on TV said that they were still so young. I can't remember who it was though. So I'd say 50-something can count as "dying young" these days.

Yes, people live longer now.

Dan Blocker was only 43 when he passed away.

Now I have the Bonanza theme song in my head.

We chased lady luck, 'til we finally struck Bonanza.
With a gun and a rope and a hat full of hope, planted a family tree.
We got hold of a pot full of gold, Bonanza.
With a horse and a saddle, and a range full of cattle, how rich can a fellow be?

On this land we put our brand, Cartwright is the name, fortune smiled, the day we filed the Ponderosa claim.
Here in the West, we're livin' the best, Bonanza
If anyone fights any one of us, he's go a fight with me
Bonanza.

Hoss and Joe and Adam know every rock and pine, no one works, fights, or eats, like those boys of mine.
Here we stand in the middle of a grand Bonanza.
With a gun and a rope and a hat full of hope, we planted our family!

BONANZA!

Parts of it, sure. But it was a cut n paste job.
