So here's the deal. The last time we had a string of high profile deaths, there were three:

Princess Diana, stateswoman
John Denver, entertainer
Mother Theresa, religious figure

We have just had Reagan, a statesman, and Ray Charles, entertainer die. All that remains is the religious figure. Anybody want to place a wager? I've got five bucks on the Bible thumper. [Wink]

So I guess neither Johnny Cash, John Ritter, nor Tony Randall were high profile?

Way off. We've already had the death of a promonent religious leader -- Margory Hinckley, the first lady of the LDS church.

I think he meant prominent in one of the major religions.

Celebrities always die in threes. It's a tradition. Although I'm not sure who died with old Georgie Harrison. Did Warren Zevon die at around the same time?
