Funny how the kids back then who couldn't distinguish between entertainment and the endorsement of prolific drug abuse grew up to be ignorant adults who can't distinguish between liberal politics and the endorsement of prolific drug abuse.

74 is not that old anymore. Drugs do that to a person. Kills them early.

>> When Kantner suffered a cerebral hemorrhage in 1980, his attending physician at Cedars-Sinai, Stephen Levy, was quick to point out it was not a drug-related issue, saying: "There is zero relationship between Paul's illness and drugs. He doesn't use drugs."[47] << (Wiki)

For Katz, every day is the Feast of the Assumption.

That's what all the doctors say!

As long as they die. A druggie death isn't to be consoled but celebrated. The younger the better.
