Pee Wee Herman at age 70.

I'm sure he was actually about 250 years old, but just looked fantastic!

If was actually a vampire, that would explain a lot.
I never really watched Peewee's Playhouse, but remember when Peewee's Big Adventure came out. I thought it was one of the funniest things ever back then.

If you're referring to Rodriguez's music, then I'm disappointed that you're disappointed. However, if you're referring to his death, I'm also disappointed.

Try listening to some other songs from his "Cold Facts" album.

This level of disappointment is disappointing.
