Well said, and thanks for the mention. I guess much of his power is symbolic. But symbols have power – and music has power. It might not keep us alive, but without music many people would be quite unhappy, and I think quality of life can be as important as simply keeping people alive.

It's also tragic – and I think many writers on the topic forget this – that he was poised to deliver a new tour. So aside from his death causing reflection on the symbolism of his past accomplishments, we lost a real tangible opportunity for millions of people to be entertained one last time.
