(Prompted by seeing someone who looked like him (but wasn’t) make a cameo appearance in a Lionel Richie video. Hey, I’m working from home and I like to watch the old pop videos channel while I’m on my lunch break.)

As Dan Bern sang, Warhol’s dead, David Hockney’s still alive, I don’t need to paint.

I am not surprised that Eric Bentley is alive at 103. He will never die.
