That's astonishing. I had no idea he was still alive. 40 years ago he seemed like an old, old man. So I thought he was gone ages ago.

God! I hope and I pray I don't live that long. That means he must have spent at least 20 full years as a decrepit old fuck! Sounds like torture to me.

Linkletter's daughter Diane killed herself in 60s, and Art blamed LSD, as he was a big Nixonite and wanted to blame it on Leary and stuff. Then he released that album afterward "We Love you, Call Collect" (ugh). The best aprt about it all is that John Waters made a short film about it called 'The Diane Linkletter Story,' starring all drag queens, and Divine played Diane.
Ah, family.

Yeah, that's horrible that his daughter killed herself. No one deserves to go through that. No one.
