Why is it that spirits like O'Rourke die way too young and ones like Trump live into their '90's?

"Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity."

There is a song title about this.

" I have measured out my life with coffee spoons" - T.S. Eliot's Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock

I think the Billy Joel song was more about not measuring out one's life with coffee spoons. In other words, making the point that what is conventionally sold as good isn't good at all.

Trump is like the Civil War - A calamity visited upon us for our sins.

Agreed. Not answered with lyrics, but the title certainly fits for too many of these occasions. Especially when thinking of the trump family's historical length of life vs P.J. and others. Betty was a happy exception!
