And today the co-founder of AC/DC (Malcolm Young?) died from suffering dementia ... at age 64? Both of thee are way too young to die/be dying of dementia. At some point, I’m sure researchers will determine the often chosen lifestyle of rockers and celebrities can lead to early dementia and death. If they’d chosen healthy lifestyles you have to wonder if they wouldn’t have lived a nice life into their 80s. Sad,
What’s Arrow?
My age is showing!!
LOL
Unless you’re one of the Rolling Stones. Those guys just keep on.....
...my Aunt was diagnosed with dementia/Alzheimer’s in her late 40’s.....when things started to get fuzzy.
Keef proves there are no rules LOL
Prayers up.
People dropping just in front of me and right behind me.
Gonna keep moving forward. When I die I want to fall forward.
One thing that attracted me right off the bat to Trump was his energy.
He is very active, physically and mentally.
He is what I’ve set out to be as I progress into seniorhood.
Always taking on new challenges/quests and always curious and learning.
He’s ~5 years older than me and gives me hope and inspiration that it can be done.
Charlie Watts is damn cool
Don’t be “Low energy Jeb” LOL
I have no clue, except that mugshots usually have a sign that they hold up right? However, it certainly looks like it could be. Certainly not a glamour shot. 8>)
The girls in my neighborhood had crushes on him and Bobby Sherman. When I was young. I think my older sister had a Bobby Sherman lunch box. I lost two very important people in my life at about his age after long battles with dementia. Prayers for him and his family.
If it is not a mugshot, that is really scary—and sad because the years have not been kind to him :(
Mugshots are usually the absolute worst~they make beautiful people look ugly...
I don’t buy alcoholism. My profession was in the field of consumer health and health care. I’ve never read or heard of any doctor mistaking dementia for alcoholism. I think you owe Mr. Cassidy and his family a very large apology.
Well what doctor diagnosed him? Last show he gave he was practically falling off the stage slurring his words barely able to perform then the next day he comes up with this excuse he has dementia now he has liver and kidney failure. Alright maybe he has dementia, I apologize because I don’t know the guy, but I think it goes without saying his drinking has destroyed his liver. He was busted 5 times for DWI.
Trying to get some money together for an old navy vet and pal that played horns and bass with lena horne. for an Ampeg baby bass
He is too old and frail for a full sized stand up bass, but he wants to play and brother he can play
Rock on Dougie
