that doesn't make him unexpectedly great at twitter. all he has to figure out is how to send a tweet. plenty of 70+ rockstars on twitter that know how to use it but are just boring. his candor on there isn't different than at any other point in his career. again, Cher is the only solid example itt.

yeah I think with Ice and LG the only unexpectedness is how much time they're prepared to fritter away on it. their content is relentlessly on brand

Ice is terrible at twitter, which is very occasionally amusing he’s probably the best 61-year-old video game obsessive on twitter though

Luther Campbell is grammatically hopeless but can be funny in an original way. Too bad he tweets predominately about sports.

Ruth Buzzi is quite good. Lots of old-school quips, but well-executed ones. We tend not to expect octogenarians to be witty but really there's no reason they can't be.

John Tesh almost exclusively posts tips about health and saving money and such. Definitely worse uses of Twitter out there.

Val Kilmer fits, I don't remember him being insane in the 90s/early 00s
Tony Hawk would fit but his TL is mostly run of the mill, this is awesome though:

Okay wait, is 'Liam Gallagher is not a great person' news? He's Liam Gallagher!
― Andrew Farrell, Friday, 11 January 2019 17:55 (five years ago) link
He's sort of transitioned from "unlikeable twat" to "lovable rogue" lately, at least in some press coverage.
I once asked the person who knows him if he had any redeemable qualities, and he said "That Liam's not in the room with us right now, but that's it"
