― Theorbo Goes Wild (James Redd and the Blecchs)

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.

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?

steven, soda jerk (sic), Saturday, 16 March 2019 10:11 (seven years ago)

i have a memory of him actually dying late last year

seedy ron (Autumn Almanac), Saturday, 16 March 2019 10:38 (seven years ago)

Already mentioned but Carl Reiner (97).

Saw his name in the credit of a Parks and Rec episode he appeared on - in a moment of cognitive dissonance I thought “damn, Rob Reiner is looking old”

I've been reading The Barbarous Years, which came out in 2012, and had assumed he was like 20 years younger than he actually is.
