Good Ol' Brando
I have to take the con side of this arguement. Don't be alarmed, I'll justify this.
I'm kinda glad that Marlon Brando died.
I love Brando. he is one of the best actors of all time. But in the last 10 years (maybe more) the only reports about him were, "Look at how lazy he is, look at how fat he is, look at what a recluse he is, look at how poor he is."
I don't want to think of him like that. Now that he has died, we won't have to. We can go back to hearing, "What a great actor he was." And that's what matters.
On one side, we have JFK. He died at his peak. There are a few people who have said that he wasn't a good president, but you can't hear them because of the trumpets from the mountains saying, "Camelot!!!"
On the other side you have the Rolling Stones. The general opinion on them is they were great. WERE! Not are. Their music goes down, and they are getting less respect every year.
I'd rather remember of the greats as the greats. That doesn't neccessarily mean that they all have to die. However, I am having a hard time thinking of someone who has bowed out of the spotlight gracefully.
