I don't want to look negative but why not honor/or pay tribute when they are alive.... I see your point... However, when they're alive and still performing, any honors and tributes they receive tend to appear premature, since their work is still unfinished business, and it is always possible that their "best work" is still yet to be done. It is only when they've passed on, the final curtain is drawn, that one can call their work complete, in any sense at all, but even then "complete" may be subject to all kinds of interpretive variations. At any rate, I can see it both ways; besides which, many of these great performers already receive many honors, accolades, and tributes in their lifetimes, before the big Grim comes calling. In that sense, paying them tributes after they're gone is not really robbing them of anything they have not already experienced. Such posthumous tributes are intended mostly for the living, especially, those who want to keep the memory of the beloved departed alive... In that sense, it is actually a good thing  |
