My wife thinks I’m crazy when I bring this up, there are at least four celebrities I distinctly remember passing away in the last ten years that I disturbingly find out they are still alive. Many of these celebrities I remember had a couple of days of discussion on the news and social media. These celebrities for me include Ed Harris, Neil Diamond, David Byrne “lead singer of talking Heads” and Mel Brooks. I remember I was in Cleveland Ohio about five years ago when the Mel Brooks announcement was made, the next day his daughter read a beautiful letter she wrote to her father.
Ed Harris was about three years ago, he died of cancer. I remember because he is such a great supporting actor and one of my favorites. David Byrne was about five years ago, I really can’t remember the specifics of the illness that took him down, then I see him on some horrid Dolly Parton New Years Eve special my wife was streaming. Neil Diamond was about eight years ago I guess, I believe he died of some cancer, again I see he’s alive and kicking. Am I nuts? Suffering dementia? Has anyone here have similar memories?
I don't remember Mel dying and I would have noticed. I am a huge Mel Brooks fan. But I'm with you on Ed Harris.
Funny, me too, that is the one I remember most clearly, mostly because his daughter’s letter was so heart warming. I love the TV version of Blazing Saddles, twenty minutes long after they cut the hell out of it and lots and lots of commercials.
A few years ago, they re-released Blazing Saddles in theaters and I dragged my Mom, my husband, and my woke former best friend. I laughed my ass off. I was too young to see it at the theater as a kid, so I was so tickled to get to see it on the big screen. I definitely enjoyed it more than the people i dragged with me, but they were laughing too between occasional gasps at things that were hilariously "politically incorrect." "Politically incorrect" = the truth that people are afraid to say out loud. Nobody can accuse Mel Brooks of being afraid to point his cameras at the truth, God bless him. :)
I guess I’m wondering, “What in the Wide, World of sport’s is going on here?”.
