Lisa Marie Presley has died.

Cue the dumb ass anti vaxxers, because you know, no one ever died from heart issues prior to covid vaccines.

My biggest fear is having my child die before me. She had that tragedy happen to her and now to her mom.

RIP

Her bio said she was married to Nicholas Cage, didn’t know that

superstar

And her grandad Vernon, who was alive when Elvis died. Elvis'es mom died when she was 46 as well, so they're working on like 4 generations of early deaths.

Robbie Knievel died at 60 from pancreatic cancer.

David Crosby passed away at the age of 81

David Crosby, Byrds and Crosby, Stills & Nash Co-Founder, Dies at 81 - Variety

Wow, Peter Cetera's 78??

Interesting that they don't list Keith Richards, and include Joe Walsh but not Don Henley.

As a family, we watched the Dolly Parton NBC Christmas Special (cheesy Christmas stuff is kind of a thing in our house), and Willie Nelson guest starred. And he looked every bit of 89.

I did a deep dive a few months ago on who was the oldest “famous” person alive. Pretty sure Bob Barker is like 3rd

I refuse to believe that Rod Stewart was in his 40s in the 1980's into the 90's. He has seemed like he was over 70 my entire life.

And that list doesn't include any of the 70s metal band musicians either - Ozzy, Iommi, Halford, Dickinson, etc. It's already started, but we're going to lose a ton of icons in the next 5-15 years

So they include Roger Waters but not David Gilmour?

Who did Billy Squier pay to get on that list?

I've never heard of this guy, but he is apparently currently (at 101 years old) the oldest living Oscar Winner (producer of In the Heat of the Night):

It was the least Kenny Ortega could do considering he ruined his career.

Is that the director of the Rock Me Tonight video

Yes. Best known for directing the High School Musical movies years later. You can connect the dots.

Billy Packer passed away.

Bobby Hull passed away.

Cindy Williams, 75, of Laverne & Shirley fame, passes away after a brief illness.

The original Wednesday Adams also passed away.

Damn 2023 is off to a sucky start

Those Mike and Ike’s peeps hit hard

Missed coming here to comment on this. I saw Crosby, Stills and Nash in concert more times than I can count. Neil Young thrown in with them a generous amount of the time. Two of my best friends were huge fans,and I tagged along to the shows. I think it was about half way through my second concert when they did helplessly hoping, and it clicked. These shows weren't about folksy music or protest songs, this was all about the vocals. After that I was all in. The harmonies these guys laid down were pretty magical, and David Crosby was a big part of the glue that pulled all of that together.

The great Burt Bacharach died at age 94. And I was today years old when I found out he wrote "Always Something There to Remind Me." Of course, I also just found out that wasn't an original in the 80s, but that's not surprising. I wasn't exactly into delving into the history of songs when I was 12.

We lost Raquel Welch.

I know we have magazines that run annual items on "The Sexiest Woman Alive" and whatnot, but they are half-serious at best.

How many women, would we say, have a legit claim to really owning that title, in a serious way? Obviously, subject to the "world" being our arguably unfair but traditional, anglophile and western-inclined definition.

Raquel Welch would surely be on that list, right? With Marilyn Monroe and Brigitte Bardot and, idano, a handful of others? But rarefied air.


Not the most dignified way to remember a lenghty career in the arts and entertainment, but... absolute smoke show.

Yeah, this one is pretty depressing.

(Raquel held the title at least for the last half of the 60s and into the early 70s I think. 70s might be an interesting discussion. Some would maybe say Farrah, I'd offer up Lynda Carter. Maybe this is a period when belts weren't unified. I feel like Pam Grier should have had some sort of title as well. Bo Derek probably had a piece of the title come '79.)

It is probably Welch early 70's, Farrah mid-seveties, and Bo the end of the seventies.

Longtime MLBer and announcer Tim McCarver passed away at the age of 81

Tim McCarver, longtime MLB player and broadcaster, dies at 81 | FOX Sports

Dang, that sucks, he was such a staple as a player and announcer for so much of my life. :(

Him and Kiner were such a great booth.

I'm going to admit, I absolutely despised Tom McCarver as an announcer. But mad respect to his life.

That would be kind of a cool premise for a playlist: "Songs you probably didn't realize were covers"

I've read a book he wrote back when I was a kid, and enjoyed it. He was really a familiar voice on game day.

I liked him. I have his baseball card! he had a great name

I really know him as the Cards starting catcher in '68 with Gibson playing Strat.

I very much enjoyed him in the 80s on Mets games, and at some point did pick up a handful of his baseball cards. Likely still have them somewhere. I never really got the hate, though at times he may have started to venture into self-parody territory on Fox.

He isn't dead yet, and he might warrant his own thread when he does. Former President Carter as entered hospice care. They don't say his condition, but I wouldn't be surprised if he goes soon.

He's done so many good things in his post-Presidency life. A good man.

Richard Belzer.

that's it? that's all he gets?

An amazing quote in his obit
