    @JC I was about to post something.

    My favourite Fleetwood Mac song from that era.

    Wow, embarrassingly enough I thought he died years ago.

    He did some pretty cool stuff before Fleetwood Mac became soft rock bores.

    He was one the few white blues guys who seemed genuine alongside other late greats like SRV, Johnny Winter and Alvin Lee ( but not Eric Clapton )

    @Tim said in R.I.P. 2020:

    Very cool in Enter the Dragon alongside Bruce. Also played a good baddie in Joe Kidd opposite Clint.

    I love this particular scene.......

    Denise Johnson, who sang with a bunch of groups back in the 90s has died at only 53. Her voice seemed to be on pretty much everything out of Manchester back then.

    Cocoon is a good flick and the Thing is absolutely outstanding.

    Wilford Brimley, the actor with the walrus mustache whose down-home geniality seen in such films as 'Cocoon,' 'The Natural' and 'Absence of Malice' endeared him to moviegoers, has died. He was 85.

    Yeah I think he got to the age of 80 in his 40s and stayed there

    On a music-related theme, Martin Birch has passed away aged 71. He was the producer/engineer of so many classic rock/metal albums from the 1970s and 1980s (Fleetwood Mac, Deep Purple/Whitesnake/Rainbow, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath).

    This Twitter feed is great. It notes when celebrities reach the same age (in days old for some reason) that Brimley was when playing an old fogey in Cocoon.
