I’m always a little surprised when I look at people’s lists see the names of people who I assumed had died a while back. Henry Kissinger, Ed Asner, Hank Aaron, and Mel Brooks fall into this category for me. ---

Henry Kissinger, Ed Asner, Hank Aaron, and Mel Brooks fall into this category for me. I was thinking of doing “Wait…he’s still alive?” as a themed list this year. Chubby Checker, Shecky Greene, Doc Severinsen, Larry Storch - these are people I remember from my childhood. ---

Bush Neil Diamond Wladimir Putin Gerhard Schröder Mario Vargas Llosa Donald Rumsfeld Nina Hagen Sir Paul McCartney John Cleese Silvio Berlusconi Emerson Fitipaldi Alternatives: Michael Schumacher Robert Crumb Milo Manara ---

Abe Vigoda was the butt of the joke regarding shock over him still being alive. I even had the Firefox extension years ago that simply displayed his life status. He just looked so old in the Godfather. He is, alas, dead. Who are some people that kind of fill that role now? Who might some of us not realize are still living? I’ll go first. Willie Mays is still alive at age 89. And God bless him, a national treasure. ---
