That one's amazing--and she was young enough then that she's not yet 80.

I hope she knows Badlands won the ILX road-film poll.

Not exactly surprised, but every now and again it's nice to remember Burt Bacharach is still alive (93).

Irene has been suffering from Alzheimer's for many years though, unfortunately. Did the fabled 20 minute version of "∞" ever appear btw?

Bud Grant, head coach of the Minnesota Vikings 1967-1983. 94 years old.
It keeps on being counterintuitive bc he seemed old even in the 1970s due to premature greying of the hair
― Josefa, Wednesday, 8 December 2021 04:23 (four years ago)
Forgot about Bud Grant--I wonder if fictional Minnesota newsperson Lou Grant was named after him.

do you understand life expectancy
― mookieproof, Thursday, 9 December 2021 20:16 (four years ago)
for life expectancy add four plus one
― mark s, Thursday, 9 December 2021 20:21 (four years ago)
Yeah, but there are all sorts of reasons people die young, especially those who found fleeting fame 40 years ago. I mean, how much drugs do you think Arthur Baker did? (Answer: a lot. "I was 100 pounds overweight, taking cocaine every night and a really heavy drinker,” Baker told Melody Maker.)
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 9 December 2021 20:23 (four years ago)
And also, as far as general life expectancy goes, I mean, Robbie Shakespeare was just a few years older than most of those dudes, and he just died, so ...
