I was shocked when they said he was 88! I had no idea he was that old. Jeez, he was 12 years old when I was born, and I'm REALLY old!
Edit: He was actually 15! Yay, I'm not as old as I thought!

He was quoted once saying "Other people singing my songs sound way better than me singing them"
Also a helicopter pilot and rugby player. To get his first song recorded, he landed a helicopter on Johnny Cash's lawn and gave him a tape.

I think he spent the past decade signing autographs in Las Vegas making $1 million a year.

Ah, praying for dead guys. A Catholic tradition. LOL.
Well, they do kinda "drop like flies" when they are over 80 years old.
Kris, Pete, John, etc.
The spooky part is having several friends that are 80-ish. I don't (yet).
So Baptists and Methodists don’t?
Hey there are millions of folks who still think over 80’s are STILL sharp as a tack.
No. They will pray for the family and friends but the deceased fate is sealed.
My Dad still had every one of his “marbles” until he passed at 88.
Poor Mom had strokes which impacted her faculties at the end when she passed at 90.
And in the hands of the Almighty. 👍
LOLOL. I've heard all the sharpest people spend as much time as possible at the beach.
But was she still praying for the dead?
LOL. I mean that in the kindest, non-sarcastic way. I just can't resist an easy punchline.
I'm not sure but about 6 weeks before she died, I went to the hospital to visit her and she asked me: "Is Jesus Christ still in the room?"
I was agnostic at the time and responded: "I'm not sure. I can't see him."
Some of them pass the time on message boards. 🙄
