Chomsky until he dies.

I think it's going to be either Trump, Biden, or Clinton, but went with Trump. Not just wishful thinking but I wouldn't be surprised if Trump goes first. Obese, a longtime lover of fast food, may or may not be an addict (possibly Adderall), and probably had the most stress in his life with all the trials over the past few years. He has aged 10 years over the past three, but tries to hide it with some makeup. I honestly think he has advanced dementia or another neurological disease as he has more frequently started going on weird speeches at rallies and other events, that are often unrelated to what he's supposed to be talking about. 2016 vs 2024 was a lot different demeanor-wise for him, and not in a good way. His obesity puts him at a high risk of a heart attack or stroke, along with his diet. His parents may have lived longer lives, but Trump's already lost two siblings who didn't make 80, one of which Trump's parents both outlived. Trump and his team will deny any possible mental health decline, but I honestly would also not be surprised if he's given the 25th Amendment at some point at which Vance takes over. He might physically be still around by 2028, but dementia never gets better, and I feel it's rapidly progressing with his trials and everything else that's happened to him over the past two years. I think Clinton might be next after Trump. He's showing his age more lately and his voice is somewhat weaker than what it was a few years. He has as of right now, quickly bounced back from every hospitalization he's had and has had a vegetarian diet for quite a few years now which can't hurt either, and probably helps some of his heart issues. Biden would be third. Yes he's slipping and may have Parkinson's, but he's also long been a physical health junkie, with years of cycling. He's had a few tumbles and does look aged, but hopefully dropping out will at least give him a few more years and take some of the stress off, even if the election wasn't the result he hoped for. Bush I think will make his 90's just like his parents did. Other than a few minor health issues and somewhat aging over the past few years, he still sounds close to his years he sounded as President, and is also still active in speaking engagements and paintings, as well as being very fit still I think Obama makes it well into his 90's. He is very fit and healthy and seems to be in excellent health with no known issues. His fitness and support for healthy food should help him live a reletvily long post presidency.

What a miss, IMO. I grew up on Peter, Paul, and Mary's music and had the fortune of seeing Peter and his son nearly two years ago. He was very kind to me and put on a great show. It's a memory I'll cherish forever. He always rooted for the underdog. I'll miss him and his great lyrics forever. R.I.P.

Chomsky until he dies.

I'm happy and sad at the same time. Happy as in he's no longer suffering and sad as Jimmy was just a genuine and total class act, which is very unusual in the field of politics. He was probably the best person to ever hold the office of president, and you could tell he loved Rosalynn so much. He did so much good in his post-presidency, something I don't know if any other former president will accomplish. At 100, he sure had a life well lived. R.I.P. Jimmy.

I feel like for misses, Peter Yarrow should've been on this list if it's true he's in hospice. He would've been a better choice than Brian Wilson or Frankie Valli, who I think have maybe 3 years left in them. Some of the others like Bernie Ecclestone and Clint Eastwood seem slightly wasted, IMO. Linda Nolan seems to exaggerate her condition a lot. Not a bad list this year, but there are much better choices compared to some of the names on here.

Chomsky. Feels like it's time.

I saw him about three years ago on the Celebrity Dating Game where he was the pianist and singer, and I noticed he had a tremor throughout, I was leaning towards Parkinson's or maybe a brain tumor, and I've noticed this in other appearances over the past five years as well. Not the biggest fan, but it's still unfortunate.

Saw him two years ago with his son in concert. He was still sharp as a tack, but he was frail with a tremor throughout the show. Was supposed to see him in September with Paul Stookey, but the show was cancelled with no rescheduled date, which led me to suspect Yarrow was in failing health. However, he still has a show scheduled near me sometime next year, should he make it. He's a folk icon, and we're losing so many great musicians lately.

Frankie Valli is one I"m not quite sure about. Yes he's frail, and lip syncs at his shows so much. However, based on what he says in interviews, he seems to still love touring and putting on a great show for his fans. I honestly think he could go downhill once his touring ends, as this is what helps him maintain a good quality of life. I'd put Jack Hanna on this list as well. Guy is an American treasure but has been "rapidly going downhill" with dementia for a few years now. I watched a video from last year and while his family is doing a great job being caregivers, he definitely has aged and I'm seeing signs of dementia that I knew with loved ones having it, and these were in the last few years. Mike Ditka's family says he is not in hospice, but with no appearances and interviews over the last few years, I can't help but wonder if his health is failing and getting near the end.

I love Jimmy for all his work, but based on the photo, it's time for him to go and be back with the love of his life. He's had a great and productive 100 years, and he's obviously very tired. He's fought a great fight. Let him vote and just let him rest after. God bless him. It's sad, but it's time for him to get the rest he needs. His family should never have given him a photo in that state.

Yes, per videos I've seen on social media. He has endorsed Harris and just can't support Trump in any way.

I love American Pickers and Frank was great on the show along with Mike. May he R.I.P.

I'm very happy Jimmy made it to 100. What a life he's had in political office and out of it as well.

When I saw the photo of Jimmy at his beloved wife's funeral, I expected him to go by Christmas. I'm sure he's in organ failure. Usually with frail elderly people, it's the end for them when they stop eating and drinking. We don't know how much Jimmy is eating or drinking these days. Probably not much if I had to make a guess. George HW Bush had very lite meals at the end.

Judy recently talked about Jerry, and says that even at over 90, he's still sharp and takes good care of himself and still has the same physique he had when they first me 48 years ago. Barring any health turns for the worse, he's probably safe for a few more years.

Forgot that he had another sister.

I saw Volman for the Turtles's Happy Together Tour a few nights ago, which they've done for close to 15 years now, along with the Cowsills, Joey Molland, (the last surviving member of Badfinger), the Vogues, the Association, Jay and the Americans, and Volman and Ron Dante of the Archies. He looks slightly aged from the last time I saw him in 2016, but still had the same sense of humor, by singing a portion of "It Ain't Me Babe", while doing a Bob Dylan impression. He was pretty upbeat the whole show. Lewy Body Dementia is a terrible disease with so much uncertainty but he's trying very hard to defeat the odds and live a full life. God bless him.

Another thing too is all of Trump's siblings are dead with two of them dying within the past four years. Both of them didn't make it to 93 or 88, and of course Fred Jr. died years before the parents died. Regarding another president, Jimmy Carter's siblings all lived shorter lives and had more health issues. Jimmy's stated in the past that his lifestyle of being active helped with his health and longevity. My grandparents lived to 83 and 88. Their oldest son (my uncle) died earlier this year at 67 after a battle with lung cancer. He was a lifelong smoker and former heavy drinker, and had health issues off and on for the last 15 years of his life. Trump didn't age that much during his presidency due to little hard work and no real stress, but now has started to age due to the stress of all his trials. He's become more incoherent during speeches than he was in 2016 or even 2020. I think he's declining rapidly.

For presidents, I think Carter goes first due to age and hospice care, but he's obviously hanging on the best he can right now. Kind of an unpopular opinion, but I think Biden just might outlive Trump. Biden has his senior moments at times, which could be Parkinson's, but he also still exercises regularly. Trump on the other hand is obese, loves food that clogs arteries, has started to finally have stress with the legal battles, (you can definitely see him aging with the makeup off), and his slurred speech and incoherent remarks remind me of people I know who have had advanced dementia, which I think is rapidly worsening. Trump just seems by some to be healthier, due to the fact that he does have energy at times, whereas Biden tends to be calmer. Clinton looked OK, but his voice was slightly weaker than it was a few years ago, the vegetarian diet might help, but with known heart issues, that's something to keep an eye on. Bush likely makes it into his 90's, and still seems to be the same person he was when president. Obama sure has aged since leaving office, but he has gone on record saying the aging wasn't just part of the stress, but genetics as well. He's also a healthy eater as well.

I'm surprised Gary's made it as long as he has with the injury and a few overdoses. To be fair, Gary's not been looking that great for a few years now. If he were to suddenly die of a heart attack or stroke, I wouldn't be surprised.

Seems like a busy week and a half for deaths it seems. Shelley Duvall, Dr. Ruth, Richard Simmons, Shannen Doherty, Jacoby Jones, James Sikking, Bob Newhart and now Lou Dobbs. It looks like Lou had a show earlier today, and was sharing the now infamous photo of Trump's injury as well, so his death appears to be sudden.

Chomsky as Jimmy seems to be trying very hard to hold on. Both are in bad shape, but Chomsky seems to be worse.

What a big miss there. With a stroke, and her advanced age, it shouldn't be that big of a surprise. She was a very entertaining woman. R.I.P. Dr. Ruth.

He also recorded the Masters Tournament theme, at least for American broadcasts.
