yet again surprised by an obit. Melvin Van Peebles one was in the Guardian yesterday. I saw him live in the late 90s during a poetry festival in Dublin which also featured Nick Cave . I had thought he had passed a few years ago so was surprised to see thatLove the lp stuff which was compiled as Rated X By AN All White Jury. I think that's his first 3 solo lps. At least the non s/trk ones cos Sweet Sweetback predates the ones included i think.

I wouldn't have thought he was that old and he isn't really. I'm surprised to discover he's from Rutherglen though!

I was surprised how young he was, I expected he was born in the 20s or 30s. The grey make up worked a treat.

I always think John Astin is dead until I'm reminded he's not. Obvs my brain conflates him with Raul Julia due to the Gomez Addams connection.

I mean, I think I knew that he was still alive. I'm guess I'm just impressed he's still alive.
Chubby Checker is 80 today. Happy birthday to him. And here's a piece I wrote about the Twist a few years ago. https://t.co/NOoMVDIIsh— Richard Williams (@rwilliams1947) October 3, 2021

Biddy Baxter, feared overlord of the Blue Peter production team, 88

Maybe being called Biddy gave a misleading veneer of antiquity back in the day.

When I read this name the face that I remembered was, it turns out, not Tony Soper but Tony Bilbow, who is also still alive at 89.
― Starmer: "Let the children boogie, let all the children boogie." (Tom D.), Monday, 4 October 2021 09:46 (four years ago)
... that is Tony Bilbow, 70s TV film critic, kind of Barry Norman without the quips

Really unbelievable that Chubby Checker is still alive.

I find it hard not to categorise Chubby Checker with the early rock & rollers, though he was really a 60s artist - he's a year younger than John Lennon, for example.

Guess his name being a joke about Fats Domino makes me associate him with the earlier era.

Yeah I didn’t realize Chubby was only 18 when he dropped “The Twist”

Country Joe McDonald, 79, of "and the Fish" fame. Didn't think that he had died, but he just doesn't seem like he should be around in 2021.
― Halfway there but for you, Saturday, 9 October 2021 15:15 (four years ago)
I guess “Country Joe” always sounded a bit like an old guy rather than a 23-year-old.

Well, he's named after Stalin, an even older guy.
― Halfway there but for you, Saturday, 9 October 2021 17:46 (four years ago)
Funny to think that if Stalin was alive he’s only be 142.

If I met a gun-toting Buddhist in Portland and she told me Stalin was her grandfather I’d probably be sceptical.

I'm never surprised by Michael Caine, as he makes about three or four pictures each year. When Max Von Sydow stopped making three films a year, I knew something was up

Is this Michael Caine retirement thing going to be like Leonard Cohen saying he was going to die, then saying he would live forever, then dying a couple of weeks later?
