Rolf Harris, dead at 93
There was a time when this would have been sad news, but now it just feels awkward.
As somebody pointed out in a long-ago Death Pool thread, they’ve had a lot of practice in staying alive, and they’ve become very good at it.
Bassist for the Beatles dead at 81, but probably not the one you’re thinking of:
That’s why I picked rappers. Hasn’t worked so far.
So did the BeeGees, and two out of three of them are dead.
I just realized that in four days, one of my picks turns 100 and I get zero points.
Even worse, it’s Henry Kissinger.
The largest 4 piece band in history.
So you’re the bastard keeping him alive!!!
Just kidding.
I wanted those points, but I didn’t even check up on him to see how old he was. I did have a discussion thread about “heaviest people to live into their 90’s” and he was a real candidate. He has now reached 100, well in a few days, and he is kind of heavy.
This one made me cry. The picture of Tina with this notice was wonderful and it was great to see her smile one last time.
And I did finally get some points this year.
Former back up singer for Frank Zappa dies.
Tina was my wife’s favorite singer. She’s heartbroken.
Any points for anyone for Tina Turner?
I had her on my 2021 list and then I removed her because I read that she had gotten better. Now I feel responsible.
Four players get on the board for Tina Turner.
