Our cultural icons bring many things into our lives for us to enjoy including books, movies, and music. We often forget about these people and their contributions when they are no longer in the limelight - again appreciating their works after death. Steve McQueen, Warren Zevon, and Amy Archerd all died of the rare cancer mesothelioma, which is caused by exposure to asbestos which has yet to be banned. We should work together to ban asbestos in remembrance of these great contributors to culture.
