"82 year old dies" is in a sense hardly news at all. "singular genius who transformed popular culture dies" is news, but also not uncommon. but "one-time symbol of bravura youth culture, trapped for decades by the fallout of the sixties, who fought free and became a widely beloved elder, dies," phew
