;_; Russell Means

russell rip indeed, we've worked with him and the rest of AIM for like 30 years, and its sad to see how few of those original dudes are left. one of the nicest people I ever worked with. super bummed out actually.

sorry if this is a dumb question: in what capacity di u work with him, jjj?

Forty-eight years ago, as a New York City teenager, Whitmore was initiated into an ordeal at the hands of a racist criminal justice system. For a time, his story rattled the news cycle. He was chewed up and spit out: an ill-prepared kid vilified as a murderer, then championed as an emblem of injustice and, finally, cast aside. That he survived his tribulations and lived to the age of 68 was a miracle.

After its deeply corrupt and vicious work on the AIM, the FBI should have been dismantled, razed, plowed under and salt sown where the buildings once stood.

Clive Dunn, 92.

RIP Clive. Just leaving Ian Lavender from the cast?

Bill Pertwee is still alive I think

Looking him up, he is and actually is/was younger than Clive.

Frank Williams is still alive too.

Oh, the vicar!

elliott stein, film critic/historian and, apparently, partial inspiration for 'notes on camp'

http://blogs.indiewire.com/criticwire/elliott-stein-1928-2012

Used to see him around town back in the day, mostly when he was running a Japanese film series at the YWCA, iirc. RIP.

Almost like one of those premonitions people are always claiming to have: in something I was looking up I came across his byline on a post-2000 Voice review a few days ago, and, realizing I'd been seeing his name for years, started reading up on him to try to find out how old he was.

Well, that one sent me down a body mod/furry/native American rabbit hole of websurfing for about 45 minutes. O_o.

There is nothing O_o about Native American tradition, but get the furry transethnic thing involved and my right eye grows suddenly huge.

Oh man, that sucks. He was a bit older than I thought, but still way too young to die.
