tbf she didn't look like one of the nuns I had to deal with - in which I mean the type that would strike a kid's head with a wooden blackboard duster and probably think most 16th century art is perverted!

Scott Walker. Well, he is dead now, but I was surprised to read the news today about his passing, because for some reason I thought he had died a couple of years ago. Mandela effect?

You’re thinking of David Bowie

1. Fritz Hollings is still alive.

2. The governor before George Wallace is still alive.

88 is a very good innings for someone I presume was a bit of a caner.

It doesn't belong in this thread anymore but I was surprised to learn about J. Gilberto's passing as I thought he had been long gone since all the people I associated him with had passed away a while ago (S. Getz in the early 90s, Sinatra late 90s, Jobim mid 90s, Moraes early 80s...).

Well he is dead now, but he only died in February this year - David Bowie's first manager, Ken Pitt, he was 96.
