This will sound stupid, but I’m less surprised to learn Ocasek is dead than to realize he was 75. It just doesn’t seem possible.

For some reason, I thought he’d be older and long since dead. Dude had a great nickname. RIP.

Definitely a great nickname, along with Elroy "Crazylegs" Hirsch.

Joseph Wilson, who wrote a column challenging the Bush/43 narrative for starting a war with Iraq, dies of organ failure at the age of 69. To punish Wilson, the Administration (Scooter Libby, Dick Cheney) leaked his wife’s name to journalist Bob Novak, who published Valerie Plame’s name in his column, outing her as a CIA operative.

Also, TIL Joseph Wilson and Valerie Plame divorced this year.

Is it wrong of me to just assume that all NFL owners are racist Scrooge McDucks? Should I feel bad that this guy kicked it?

I mean it's probably generally true but definitely stereotyping. Doesn't appear to be the case here

You must scour the online news and celebrity sites, quietly saying to yourself: “Bring out yer dead.”

Kind of a shocker to me. The report I saw mentioned a lengthy history of health challenges but I wasn't aware of any. Only 68. Damn.

I had some DVD's of the Detroit riots on a series I had bought on civil rights called "eyes on the prize". He was downtown and tried to get up on a car and use a blow horn to quiet people down. He was up there for about 30 seconds before his face turned white and he wanted to get the fuck out. He said in a narrative during the footage that he was scared and wanted to get the hell out of there. Holy shit, that was 51 years ago.

Did he ever play a good guy?
But that would be a helluva legacy for most people, wouldn’t it? Famous enough that your passing allows you inclusion in a celebrity death thread, famous enough most people of a certain age would recognize you, but not so famous that everybody knows your name, to the point the death thread starts with “‘This guy...’ .” tOfficial 2019 Celebrity/Noteable Deaths Thread - Page 4 502811600
