I'm sure this particular tweet was meant to be glib. But it wouldn't surprise me if, sadly, this kind of thing actually occurs when Leonard passes. The depth of devotion for some is so intense (way beyond the "I love him and study him and go to all his shows" type of fan). For some, he has been a constant comfort through decades of serious, clinical depression and loneliness. He is "all they've got" and something of a holy man. I worry that the departure of a figure like this could really send someone into the unthinkable hopeless despair of taking their own life. I hope I'm wrong. But I've thought about this potential (strictly in an academic sense - no personal inclinations!) for hysteria among a very small minority when LC passes.

After all, people killed themselves over the deaths of Rudolph Valentino and John Lennon...

I hear you. There is a great depth of feeling... and need. And very many of them are from the youngest end of the spectrum.
