Something I think about too, and which I specifically called my class's attention to when I talked about Little Richard on his birthday 10 days ago. I wrote the names of Elvis, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee, and Little Richard on the board, and I said that these were the four guys who invented rock and roll 60 years ago, and three of the four are still alive.

On a different note, I heard an interesting Radiolab episode recently about the Heimlich manoeuvre, which started with raised eyebrows that Henry Heimlich wasn't someone who (died) 100 years ago. He's now 93.
This is genuinely interesting to know, I had no idea either.

Yeager should go on the people who know how to live list
GRASS VALLEY, Calif. – In the parking lot of this small Sierra Nevada town's airfield, a decommissioned F-104 Starfighter jet looms over a series of plaques. They honor the exploits of one Charles Elwood Yeager, better known as Chuck.But while the display has a posthumous vibe, the local legend in question is very much alive and well, sitting in his hanger a few yards up the road."I'll be 90 in February, and while I'm not gonna run no marathon I still hunt and fish and fly," says Yeager, resting in the shade of a tail-dragger prop plane that he solos in regularly. Parked nearby is an old pickup whose plate reads BELL X1, the rocket plane he rode into history when it broke the sound barrier in 1947.Living legend is an overused term, but it applies to this American original indelibly captured by Sam Shepard in 1983's The Right Stuff. Not that Yeager is remotely Hollywood. For him, life boils down to "duty, it's that simple."The General, as he prefers to be called, doesn't particularly enjoy interviews; navel-gazing isn't his style. But he agreed to speak with USA TODAY to draw attention to the foundation that bears his name, which supports a scholarship program at Marshall University in his native West Virginia as well as the Young Eagles, a non-profit program chaired by pilot Sully Sullenberger that gets kids airborne (Yeager is Eagles' chairman emeritus).Yeager may be in a dogfight with Father Time, but his bearing is still ramrod straight. He says his famously acute 20/10 vision remains sharp, although his ears are another matter. "I can't hear well," he growls in his iconic drawl. "Damn P-51 Mustang noise. You go sit behind that engine for eight hours, with a leather helmet on. But that's a handicap that came with the job."...Yeager's name popped back onto the cultural radar Oct. 14, the anniversary of his first supersonic flight. On that day in New Mexico, Austrian skydiver Felix Baumgartner made history when he jumped out of a capsule at nearly 130,000 feet and broke the speed of sound on his descent.While some 8 million people watched Baumgartner jump live on YouTube, Yeager wasn't one of them. He was over at Nellis Air Force Base outside of Las Vegas, strapped into a borrowed F-15 fighter. He proceeded to repeat his own record flight by laying down "a big ol' sonic boom over Edwards" Air Force base in the Mojave desert, where he'd run a pilot training program a half-century ago.Always on the go, a few days later Yeager was hunting deer with the governor of West Virginia, and a week after that he was grand marshal of the Veterans Day parade in San Diego.

In a 1993 episode of Mother Angelica Live, Mother Angelica harshly criticized a mimed re-enactment of the Stations of the Cross at the World Youth Day in Denver, Colorado, which was attended by Pope John Paul II. Mother Angelica was particularly upset that a woman was playing Jesus. Archbishop Rembert Weakland of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee called Mother Angelica's comments "...one of the most disgraceful, un-Christian, offensive, and divisive diatribes I have ever heard".[20] Mother Angelica responded by saying, "He didn't think a woman playing Jesus was offensive? He can go put his head in the back toilet as far as I am concerned!"[20]

somehow my mom, who wasn’t real tech savvy, found this comedian on youtube that she really fell for. statuesque southern lady who tells clean funny stories: absolutely my mama’s jam! thru the magic of Algorithm, mom got to enjoy randomly coming across videos of this gal’s routines for a couple of years — until tragedy struck. she told me sadly that her comedian had died. oh no, i said, how did it happen? mom didn’t know because the memorial video youtube had shown her didn’t mention a cause of death. she mourned, i sympathized. when mom’s next birthday approached i decided to search online to see if that lady had ever put out a book or dvd or other gift-type merch, and discovered that 1.) HOMEGIRL LIVES and 2.) WAS TOURING and 3.) HAD A PERFORMANCE COMING UP IN OUR CITY IN TWO FLIPPING DAYS
obviously i dropped everything and got us tickets and told mom i was taking her somewhere special, and she was game, because she was awesome. so there we were in a lutheran church at 10:30 on a thursday morning, packed in with a crowd of hyped old ladies, my mom completely baffled, me giggling like a lunatic and trying not to bounce in our pew because i was even hyped-er than the ladies around us. random woman gets up front and gives a generic intro and then WHABAM, back from the dead, big as life, neon pink power suit and sparkly jewelry transfixing the crowd, my mom’s idol appeared. i’d never seen her so stunned, i’ve never seen anyone so stunned. it was dope.

Jeanne Robertson, rip in peace (she died for real this august). and my best guess for the memorial is that some other lady with a similar name (and features?) must have passed away, her family put together a video honoring her, and youtube figured oh hey people who enjoy the comedy stylings of this one lady must want to watch the funeral of this similar lady? which turned out to be the right call in the end because my mom realizing JR was still alive was pretty much a top 3 moment in both our lives, i can still get totally blissed out on the memory <3
