Thread Name: BS: The Mother of all BS threads
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads
While perusing the "S" listings in the Dead People Server to which Rapaire linked, I noticed that Sam Shepard (playwright/actor born November 5, 1943) and Harry Dean Stanton (actor/musician born July 14, 1926) are both alive. That is not surprising since I don't think I've ever seen a Sam Shepard play (or even too many films in which Sam Shepard has acted) in which Harry Dean Stanton has not acted. This leads me to conclude that Sam Shepard and Harry Dean Stanton are, in fact, the same person. The fact that they are both alive is not a coincidence. I don't know how to account for the 17 year difference in their ages, but it's probably something about which Sam Shepard could write a pretty damned good play.
