Shane MacGowan of the Pogues fame, whose most famous song Fairytale of New York has recently been covered by Jason and Travis Kelce recently dies aged 65. I would have guessed he was older
Damn I'm so used to seeing names trend on Twitter, thinking they might be dead and then finding out they aren't that I didn't check this one. Hard living for sure.

Wonderful person and justice with an amazing life story. The differences between a conservative like O'Connor and the current phony versions like Alito & Thomas et al. is startling and sad. She will be greatly missed. RIP
You definitely do! (I'd say "these days" but I think it has always been thus depending on the era and one's politics.) But there couldn't be one for the specific effect of that decision, no.
The point is she admitted it was a mistake.
Compared to the current "conservatives" on the SC who have never made much less admitted to a mistake, she is a gold standard. Plus she cared about the reputation of the SC and understood it's claim to legitimacy rested on their integrity and adherence to the law.
For the current "conservatives", it is always someone else's fault or a conspiracy by the left or a witch hunt by the Democratic party. They do not care one iota about the SC beyond what it generates for their influence and bank accounts.

“Milton was going on about the money supply,” he recalled in 2009, “so what I said was everything reminds Milton of the money supply. Everything reminds me of sex, but I try to keep it out of my written work.” 
I remember Minor pretty well. Probably not atheltic enough to be an NBA player and then just not the right fit for baseball as he was a little tall to be a good 3B and couldn't hit enough to be a regular 1B. We forget how rare the 6'7" non-pitching baseball player is still.

That is surprising. As one who was watching TV in the 1950s, I remember more than that. I checked and confirmed that there was only one season of 39 episodes of The Honeymooners, but see that Joyce Randolph also was in 79 episodes of the Jackie Gleason Show as the character Trixie Norton. I'm sure some of my memories are from those. I think the Honeymooners was a recurring skit that was a part of the Jackie Gleason variety show. Variety shows were very common back in those days.
Later played for the Phillies. He and Pete Rose got into a fight in the 1973 NLCS but would later be teammates. Kind of like Jim Thome and Rheal Cormier years later. According to Wikipedia, Rose and Harrelson avoided discussion of the fight unlike who Thome and Cormier who discussed it publicly together before reporters and at the end of doing so, laughed it off and hugged it out.
