Peter Yarrow, of Peter, Paul, and Mary at 86. Paul is the last surviving member (unless you play their records backwards and find out that he actually died in the 1960's).

He didn't die. He just moved to a different seat.

Filmmaker David Lynch. Man, rough day.

I never realized that Lynch played John Ford at the end of The Fabelmans.

Yea saw that. He was like ten years older than the rest but outlived them all.

On the sax in this one.

I need to go to CCSP. There's a regular who's a fan of an upstate NY team who looks like Hudson. Got to see if he's still around
