Your morning start for Wednesday, June 17, 2020

Good morning, Okanagan! Happy hump day!

One study, conducted by a University of Sydney professor, titled Stairway to Hell: Life and Death in the Pop Music Industry, examined the deaths of artists which took place between 1950 and June 2014. The study specifically looked at longevity and the proportion of suicides, homicides, and accidental deaths. Longevity was determined by calculating the average age of death for each musician by sex and decade of their death. These averages were then compared with averages by sex and decade for the general U.S. population. The results? Musicians lifespans are 25 years shorter.

A note posted to the Equilibrium Massage Therapy by Rowland, stated the practice is being suspended for the foreseeable future.
