Legendary punk rock drummer Chuck Biscuits is still alive and well.
UPDATE: This could possibly be a hoax. Will update as needed - JW
UPDATE #2 Evidently some sort of stupid hoax. Nothing to see here, carry on.

Comic magician Carl Ballantine dies at 92
Carl Ballantine played Lester Gruber, on the McHale's Navy television series... which was set on a Polynesian island, during WWII, so... sort of "tiki".

Sorry to hear about his passing. When I was a kid, my mom introduced me to Gene Barry back when he was doing Burke's Law. He still kept the cane after his days of doing Bat Masterson. I met him while he was taking part in a holiday special with a bunch of other stars I met at the same time: Robert Goulet, Steve Lawrence, Eydie Gormé, and others. Gene was the coolest one there.
