No, 71 isn’t *too* old for Americans these days, but, jeez, 71 + 61 years of booze, methamphetamines, heroin, and probably a whole litany of other condemnables made the Man in Black, by my calculation, about 192. As for Mr. Ritter, his heart defect is an obvious sign that one should never attempt to butch-up over just a few years… it’s physically stressful. Recusantem in Pace to the both of them.
Called two friends and my dad before 6am to spread the news…
Thanks for the pic…it’s a fine one.
I miss him and Sam too.
Maybe our someday get-together trip will end up in Memphis???
Johnny Cash and John Ritter on the same night.
And they were both considerably young – I mean, 71 is not considered old anymore………
