Ah, it's always good to come to LFGSS to obtain the correct set of opinions on celebrity deaths.
We always think we have to have a really personal reaction to them, but actually we don't. That applies to indifference as well as to vitriolic hatred and to fandom.
You can really only react with platitudes--'every death of a young person is tragic', etc.--all true, but there is just no meaningful relationship that would make any other reaction very interesting.
Mixing up a critical assessment of their work with a reaction to their death is a pretty pointless thing to do, too. Their work hasn't died. Carry on listening to it if you want to, or avoid it like you always have, and just let her rest in peace.
