#OverindulgenceASongOrPoemIt's a pain in my head, bugs in my bed,
And my pants are so old that they shine.
Out on the street, I tell the people I meet,
To buy me a bottle of wine.Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine
When ya gonna let me get sober... -

So, Jimmy Carter passed away last month. Tom Paxton wrote "I Don't Want a Bunny Wunny in my Wittle Rowboat" about him.
Anita Bryant passed away. Tom Paxton wrote "Anita O.J." about her.
Who else that Tom Paxton wrote a song about is going to die to make the "three celebrity" unit complete?
[ @Woodyanna pointed out that Kissinger, about whom Paxton wrote "The White Bones of Allende" passed away last year, but that might not be proximate enough to qualify]

"Qu'as tu appris à l'école"
Graeme Allright. 1968in LP "Jour de clarté"
(Original song from Tom Paxton
"What Did You Learn in School Today ?")"Qu'as-tu appris à l'école, mon fils
A l'école aujourd'huiQue les gendarmes sont mes amis
Et tous les juges très gentils
Que les criminels sont punis pourtant
Même si on s'trompe de temps en temps
C'est ça qu'on m'a dit à l'école, Papa
C'est ça qu'on m'a dit à l'école"
