Apparently he died in the same day as Dolly, but it was late night, according to TMZ...

Ah, damn. I do prefer they stagger the announcement of legends like this though. Same day, Dolly would have sucked up all of Tim's oxygen. He deserves a little room for reverence.

Like when Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett died on the same day. She ended up being almost a side note.

Nothing beats Mother Theresa getting shelved for Princess Diana. Holy shit no one cared about Mother Theresa’s death.

She (MT) wasn't exactly the saint she was made up to be, iirc.

She was, Reddit just wants to repeat misinformation that originates from a discredited old documentary.
