- Reviewed: Constance Davey
- Comment: Please save for June 17, his 72nd birthday (six weeks from now). Personal preference for the main hook, then ALT1.

I like that original hook way too much to not tackle this review (bit Easter egg-y, but I believe it's fine for hooks? Regardless, ALT2 also works if the original is too egg-y). Nominated shortly after article's creation so new enough, long enough, sources look good, hook cited, QPQ provided. Only things copyvio checker turns up are slightly wordy titles and place names. Image has no copyright issues. Zappa⚡Matic 21:45, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
