Chuck Berry: oh man, this one hurts.
90 years is a good long life, and none of us are immortal in the corporeal sense, but there are those who seem so, radiating all the vitality of youth decade after decade, unfailingly infecting everyone with the joy of what they do so well and serving as living connections to our own youth. And when Chuck Berry was playing, on a stage or screen, from a record or a radio, it was well nigh impossible not to feel happy and just generally better about everything.
That was a gift he gave in life, one that he's now left us with and which will keep on giving. In that sense, he is immortal. I'm grateful for all the good times he made and will continue to make possible. Just thinking about that lessens the hurt, so he's still making me feel happier and better about everything.
"C'est la vie," say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell.
