Eclectic Perambulations in the Noosphere
Tom Rush (born February 8, 1941) is an American folk and blues singer, songwriter, musician and recording artist.
"I've been waiting 45 years to be an overnight sensation, and it's finally happened! A video clip of my performance of "The Remember Song" has 'gone viral.' I felt terrible at first, thinking I was being accused of being a musical equivalent of Ebola, but my children explained to me that this was a good thing."
Marie Rudisill (13 March 1911 – 3 November 2006), also known as the Fruitcake Lady, was a writer and television personality, best known as the nonagenarian woman who appeared in the "Ask the Fruitcake Lady" segments on The Tonight Show on American television.
Louise Neistat, a 92-year-old former Rockette, hasn’t let age get in the way of her passion for dance or her desire to help others, the Huffington Post says.
A short YouTube documentary filmed by Neistat’s grandson, filmmaker Casey Neistat, tells the tale of the New London, Connecticut, woman who has been tapping for nearly 50 years and has turned it into a way to help fund cancer research. She teaches tap six days a week to 70 students in her attic-turned-dance studio. She gives the proceeds from her annual tap shows—more than $100,000 over the years—to the American Cancer Society.
Neistat joined the Rockettes in 1941 and went on the road with the United Service Organization, which did shows for U.S. troops across the country. Her father died of cancer a month before her first show—a tragedy which “made her want to cure cancer with her dance,” says Casey Neistat.

"Photographer Isa Leshko is traveling to sanctuaries across the country to photograph animals that are elderly or at the end stage of their lives. “I began the series as a means of exploring my feelings about my mother’s decline due to Alzheimer’s Disease,” she says. “As I’ve worked on this project, though, I’ve come to realize that these images are a testament to survival and endurance. And they raise questions about what it means to be elderly.”
Currently based in Houston, TX, Leshko is relocating to Philadelphia, PA in May 2011. Her work is represented by the Corden|Potts Gallery in San Francisco, CA, the John Cleary Gallery in Houston, TX and the Richard Levy Gallery in Albuquerque, NM."
