It only seemed fitting to have Lemmy himself as the icon.

The celebrity that hit me like this was Anthony Bourdain. It sucks to lose someone who you identify with, even if you never met them.
Robin Williams for me. I was at a bar with friends when I found out and just sat in stunned silence for at least a half hour.
Yeah, Robin hit me hard, too, but not as hard as Bourdain. I liked Robin more from when I was a kid while I identified with Bourdain as an adult. He inspired me to travel and is the reason I met my wife.
