I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

You can tell an interrobang from an exclamation point just as easily as you can tell a period from a comma.

Are you about to realise that Jimmy Barnes was also the lead singer of Cold Chisel too?

Whenever an early figure if rock/pop dies I always feel surprised that they were still alive and thought they died in the 20th century. But pop/rock music as we know it only started in the 1950s and most of the early pioneers of music were born in the 1930s, so it shouldn’t be surprising that many only passed in the last 10-15 years.

theres also a different kind of thing in there i think, at least for me

like when youre young and become aware of celebrities theyre generally older than you, so theres a period where a lot of the big stars from your childhood suddenly seem to die within "a few years"

then you get a bit older, and the ones who didnt die back then start dying and now youre like wait i thought they died, everyone else did

soon, if you live that long, there will be nobody who was famous when you were a kid

There's bound to be a few stragglers; we've still got plenty people famous in the '50s hanging about! Like... uh... Noam Chomsky? And Glynis Johns. And, uh, that old lady from The Archers.

Also still alive and happy (though they've barely been on screen this millennium): John Astin (93 now, and who only retired from teaching acting at John Hopkins a couple of years ago) and the Smothers brothers (both in their mid 80s now).

Here's something I just realized/found out: a Van Dyke beard is named for a Flemish painter, not Dick Van Dyke, who doesn't seem to be strongly associated with a beard style after all... as far as I can tell? Not sure where I got that idea.

There are surprisingly few well known rock groups where all the original members are dead. The last man standing from Buddy Holly and the Crickets only went in 2022.

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


Right now only about 1/3rd of boomers have died so it makes sense that bands that became popular in the late 60s-70s still have living members.

Looking it up, they all died relatively young from different causes, three of them by cancer. A lovely run of luck.
