Johnny Ball, 83. It'd somehow completely escaped my attention that he's Zoe Ball's dad! Wonder if he's still a climate change denier?

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

Forgot about Bud Grant--I wonder if fictional Minnesota newsperson Lou Grant was named after him.

do you understand life expectancy

for life expectancy add four plus one

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 (two years ago) link
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 ...
