Is Robert Wyatt stioll with us.I saw him credited as one interviewee on a Bluer nOte feature in UNcut last month and thought must have been before he died, which I thought was a couple of years ago.Now can't find anything saying he died. Was I just remembering a 50th anniversary of his recording career, which would be 2014..

A hardy perennial but "The Masque of the Red Death" was on last night and reminded me of him. Roger Corman, 94 last month.

I heard Joss attributes his longevity to his habit of always travelling with a well-stocked (for any eventuality) spunky backpack.

Do we have a thread for people you thought were alive but aren't? An obituary for Ray Manzarek came up on my Facebook feed for some reason - I clicked through only to discover it was from 2013. RIP Ray, sorry it took me 7 years to learn you were dead
― Zelda Zonk, Monday, 25 May 2020 12:48 (six years ago)
Yes, I posted Joan Rivers on it recently.

Earl HollimanClu Gulager
Shocked to see Clu's name in credits for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Both born in 1928. Both surely would have guest starred on Bounty Law.

Speaking of Earl Holliman (I mentioned this somewhere before) all four of the original 1974 cast of TV's Police Woman are still alive... Ed Bernard (81); Charles Dierkop (83); Angie Dickinson (88); and Earl Holliman (91).
