Take heart: on a message board where the Everleigh Sisters are not unknown, the Everly Brothers will not be forgotten.
Mr Ranger Rod Gilbert dies at 80.
That sucks. I liked their interactions on the show.
I’d forgotten that he got fired months before Letterman’s final show. He pushed a producer up against the wall and yelled at him. I guess it had been building up for a long time.
I didn’t realize his age, either. He was two years older than Dave.
Lucille Times, who launched a boycott of the Montgomery, Alabama bus system six months before the Rosa Parks incident, dead at 100.
Hockey player Jimmy Hayes dies at just 31.
Igor Vovkovinskiy, who was born in the Ukraine and became the tallest person in the US, dies at age 38.

There’s no evidence to suggest Watts choked on vomit, his own or anyone else’s.

Jerry Harkness, who was one of the four Black starters on the 1963 Loyola-Chicago NCAA championship team, dies at age 81.
Earlier in the tournament, Loyola met Mississippi State in the Mideast Regional in East Lansing, Michigan, in what became known as The Game of Change.
Mississippi’s governor, Ross Barnett, filed an injunction to prohibit the team from leaving the state. Bulldogs coach Babe McCarthy had already crossed the border and could not be served. The players all wanted to go, and off they went.
16 months later, the first Black student enrolled at Mississippi State.
