John McCain's mom is not really famous, any more than she would be if she'd had her tubes tied in 1935, but then he wouldn't be either

He's not as old as I would have guessed (77) but I was happy to see Dr Demento was at the Weird Al Hollywood star reception.

Dr. Demento's career is still a little mind-blowing when I realize that he was also a roadie for Spirit and Canned Heat and pals with John Fahey back in 1965. There's a great audio interview out there of him and Fahey interviewing Son House in 1965

easy mistake to make. also because Drudge never gives interviews and rarely has his picture taken.

Frank Bough. For some reason I thought he'd died years ago and then I saw a Twitter account under his name, thought that someone had maybe just set one up under his name and then checked....he's 85 now.

Still kicking around at 92.
Right... I've had to keep this under wraps for ages. We've just finished editing a Christmas special (90') on Stanley Baxter for C5 He;'s 92, on top form, and he allowed our cameras into his house. He's v.v. funny. Details closer to transmission. Press pls go to Mark Borkowski— Victor Lewis-Smith (@TVOFFAL) November 25, 2018

Clive James. Could have sworn he died a couple of years ago.
― suffeeciant attreebution (aldo)
he's been terminally ill for about 4 or 5 years and has been writing about his imminent death, in terms that make it seem like it's just round the corner, ever since. due to this ive assumed multiple times over recent years that he must have passed away.

He sounds a little embarrassed about it, to be fair

I think if you still possess a sense of embarrassment then life really hasn't prepared you for death yet.
