Sweet, if slightly unsettling.
(It's a myth that all the starlight we're seeing is from long-dead stars. There are some that may have burned out while their light was traveling, yes, but most of the sky that's visible to the naked eye is just too close — we're not seeing more than 10,000 years back, and even the shortest-lived stars last for over a million years.
(If you still want to look at a star that may be dead by now, try Eta Carinae, which is 7500 light-years away, and which we saw almost supernova in the 1840s, and which is doing a weird years-long brightening and dimming; it's entirely possible that it's gone full supernova by now. Of course, you have to be in the southern hemisphere to see it...)
