I was just corresponding with someone who told me she started paying
closer attention to who's alive and who's dead when she saw Jack
Palance, who she was certain was dead, on the Oscars broadcast doing
one-armed pushups. That reminded me of the common misconception that
Abe Vigoda had died decades before he actually did. Are there any Jack
Palances or Abe Vigodas today? Another example of this type, who was
disqualified last year, is Bill "Ray Jay Johnson" Saluga.

Who are the living people who you believe the average person would not
just be unaware that they are still alive, but would actually argue
with someone who claimed they are? My first nominee is John Amos. I'm
also thinking of Jim Bakker and Imelda Marcos.

I thought Rich Little passed ages ago, but it appears he still groking
along at age 86. John Byner is another one who I thought was long gone
but still persists. Gary Mule Deer is long overdue for a long dirt nap
as I thought he left the building ages ago... R & B singer Wanda Jackson
is still with us at 86 and putting out an occasional record and not
singing with the cestial choir as I had originally thought. Tom Lehrer is
still around at 96 having donated the copyright to all his songs to the
public domain in 2020...

This is awkward.

Should we blame you? ;-)
