First of all, before I start I just want to say a thank you to Mr. Adam West for his work in film and television. He was a very talented man with a sense of humor that wasn’t bound to his age. (I.e., he was no old fuddy duddy!)
Now, it’s 2020 and I was under a strong impression that Mr. West was still with us. I had no idea he passed in 2017. I vividly recall that just last month, I saw an interview with him detailing his future plans with Family Guy amongst other things he was into. I also read an article about him which was recent with no mention of passing on, quite the contrary in fact.
This is surprising / alarming as I was fully under the assumption that he was still alive and working. This isn’t the first time I’ve experienced something similar. I remember in 1997 or 1998 hearing of James E. Jones dying. I remember it was a big fuss amongst my friends and I as we were all fans of Star Wars. (James E. Jones provided the voice of Darth Vader.)
It wouldn’t be before 2005 that I found out he was in fact, still alive to my surprise.
Now, I’m a fan of Occam’s razor. So it may very well be that my friends and I were given bad information or misunderstood events in the late 90’s regarding Jones’s death. I may also currently be misremembering the interviews and the dates I thought I saw them when it comes to Mr. West.
However, there are two other things that have happened relatively recently which have cause me to question things. I live in a town in Norway. This town is old, and while there certainly are newer buildings there are still many, many old buildings down town which have remained unchanged to this day.
Down a road of old shops that connect to each other, there is now an opening to a small set of apartments sandwiched between the connecting set of shops. This isn’t new either, despite being new to me as it appears that the styling is from the 80’s. But I can promise you, I’ve walked that street numerous times a week and have never seen it before recently.
Not too far away is what Norwegians call a “gå gate” which directly translates into a “walking street”. This street has been permanently closed off to traffic decades ago and shops align each side providing a meeting point for the cities inhabitants. Nearing the end of this “walking street” there’s a large building which ends with a flat wall. On this wall, there used to be payphones which have now been removed. However, there are now doors that are also on this wall which weren’t there previously.
As the apartments I mentioned above, these aren’t newly installed doors and appear to be rather old. But again, new to me.
As mentioned, I’m a fan of Occam’s razor and am fully aware that I’m misremembering events or details. Or perhaps I simply haven’t noticed.
I still get a strange feeling about all of this. And I’m adamant that Adam West was still alive.
Just needed to share as this unsettled me. Thanks for reading.
