Isn't there a larger than life museum dedicated to him in the Berkshires, with a very large Very Hungry Caterpillar?

Pioneer Valley, not Berkshires! On the campus of my alma mater which just this week has decided that due to their weakening fiscal position will not admit a full entering class this year, which has me deeply depressed

Film producer Robert Evans.

Was he young? Not anymore. Was he still active? Not as much as he’d like to be. But was he still spending his days on the right side of the dirt, entertaining old pals in his long-time residence, and toying with the notion of making one last hit? You bet your sweet bippy, baby.

Yes, because they just announced who is replacing him--Lilly Singh, "Canadian YouTuber, comedian, television host, and actress widely known as ||Superwoman||" who I am too old to have heard of.

Hideous Lump, Saturday, 16 March 2019 04:21 (seven years ago)

Would prefer Death Rattles With Sophia Loren tbh

did you erroneously think he had died at some point, or just haven’t given a thought to Guns or AC/DC for twenty-five years?
