Adults behaving like toddlers.
Iâm going to go out on a limb and assume heâs feeling a little green?
I think youâre barking up the wrong tree there
Must be in the autumn of his life by now, so maybe not so green
I canât twig whatâs happening here.
Or is it a massive oaks.
Rance howard , Ron Howard`s father passed away at 89,
He played the sherriff in Cool hand luke , had roles in 57 movies and had about the same amount of appearances in TV shows .
I reckon i have probably watched most of his movies but had no idea who he was . Nothing new for me .
I recognise his weird cousin(?) more.
You aren`t talikng about his brother Clint ,are you , Wimmera1 ? He is weird looking.
Hope Ted McGinley is ok.
Surprise surprise surprise, RIP Jim
Well golly. Was a big fan of Jim, both in his role as Gomer Pyle and as a recording artist. R.I.P. Jim
SHAZAM!!!
For shame, for shame, for shame!
Very good voice, could really sing. not the sort of material l am very interested in listening to, but had a lot of vocal talent just the same.
Close enough to the end of the year for this summary. What a crap year .

You forgot Gurrumul.
George Romero deserves a mention as the father of zombie movies. His works such as Dawn of the Dead and Creepshow were a treasure when I was growing up.
And included Manson ⌠(under the reference of a crap year âŚ)
He alone almost levels out all the crapness.
I have probably missed a few more ,too.
Sue Grafton who wrote the Kinsey Millhone âalphabetâ books (A is for Alibi, B is for Burglar etc) died on the 28th of December, having got all the way to Y is for.
Apparently there wonât be a Z. The books were started in the 80s and never really progressed too far in time, so she never had the private eye convenient inventions like mobile phones or the internet.
I suspect one of the main reasons is that her landlord was a bloke in his late 80s with siblings nearing the ton and raising the bat to the crowd. She didnât want to write about any of them dropping off the perch. Also Kinsey was in her 30s, so was always active and rootable.
Graftonâs father was a noted mystery writer, and allegedly she got the idea for the books from thinking up ways to murder her then husband. Instead she dumped the pr*ck and made a motza from her books.
