Thank you for going above and beyond, Baker.
Bob Fass, free form radio pioneer, dies at 87.
Look, you were making it sound like he was a superstar at 15. (He didn’t even join the band until right around his 18th birthday.) No offense, but I hardly consider the distinction between fame at 15 and fame at 20 to be trivial.
Check their discography. The numbers say otherwise.
Please, RTF and Toxy, take your argument elsewhere.
Thanks, Baker, for everything. Hope you are feeling all better and I bet you are happy to be in your own space.
I had Ian St. John for 18 points.

zadscmc you have those points. And for Collins I finally get on the board with a unique pick.

Just adding a link to astronaut Michael Collins death and life details from wiki. Michael Collins (astronaut) - Wikipedia
Ole Anthony, religious leader, schemer, self-promoter, occasional huckster, and founder of the non-profit Trinity Foundation which sought to expose religious fraud–particularly amongst the televangelist and prosperity gospel set, died at 82 from cancer.
Anita Lane: singer, songwriter, Nick Cave collaborator, and original member of the Bad Seeds. Dead at 61.
Johnny Crawford, “son” of The Rifleman, has died at the age of 75. Wikipedia has been updated, which I guess confirms it. I saw the news on a friend’s FB timeline sharing the news from a friend of the Crawfords, but haven’t seen an article yet.
It wasn’t that long ago that I was watching a rerun of The Rifleman and I saw Lucas gun down someone right in front of his son. I tried to find out how many people his father killed in front of him. I found that Lucas killed 120 people during the run of the show. I couldn’t find out exactly how many were in front of his kid. A lot from what I recall. That’s a lot of childhood trauma.
Alzheimer’s, Covid, pneumonia. Shitty way to go.
Kirk Douglas’ wife has died at 102. Anne Douglas. How many people get two parents that pass 100? I’d love to know the odds on that.
Not Michael Douglas’ mother, but I imagine he was still very, very close since Kirk was married to her for a super long time.
She was 102 and died younger than her husband, who made it to 103.
I loved the promos that Johnny Crawford did for The Rifleman on MeTV.
