Which famous personalities from the 60's are still alive and going strong?
With the deaths of Bob Denver and Don Adams I've become a little contemplative and wonder who is still around.

My list so far:

Lee Iaccoca
Ralph Nader
Ramsey Clark
The Rolling Stones

15. Don't forget about good ol' Chuck Berry
not to mention BB King. We have lost a lot of great musicians this year, so those two, as well as others are even more appreciated now. OK OK so Berry was more of a '50's guy, but he had hits in the sixties as well. Oh yeah, one more. Joan Baez. Still alive and raising hell.

26. Neil Young, and thank all the gods Grace Slick
Seen Grace lately? She looks like someone's grandmother - fat and grey haired. But she's still Grace and she's still, well, Grace!

As long as we have her.... all is cool.
