2023 SDMB Celebrity Death Pool

This is a big one. Yikes.

Super bummer. I was a huge fan. I think he was one of the best songwriters/rhythm guitarists of our age. I emphasize his rhythm playing because it is so understated and genius. His work on The Shape I’m In always makes me want to play better.

Lil Tay has died, leaving 86 points unclaimed. Though we can not pick under 18 anyway, can we?

She was a social media girl at age 9, using terrible language and being a jerk. I guess it was guided by her parents?

May want to put that in the “unconfirmed” category for now.

Wait for me somewhere down the crazy river…

Right. No one under 18 is allowed.

We are sick and twisted, but not that sick.

Not all of us, anyway.

Clearly faked his own death. Be On The Lookout for Rusty Shackleford!

The fire ants finally got him.

Yeah, seems it was a hoax.

Messed up family and situation. She seems to be living a life that won’t end well. I’ll have my eye on her when she turns 18. (For Death Pool purposes, people, I’m not a creep!)

Wait, waiting for somebody to be old enough for Death Pool is not creepy? Yeah, OK, you’ve got a point.

Maybe not the best phrasing in a conversation regarding Bullcok.

Former NFL wide receiver Sean Dawkins has run an out pattern. Out of this plane of existence, that is.

Well, I really blew it.

Shoji Tabuchi has died. Age 79. I had never heard of him before Redleettermedia watched his concert tape. He was huge in Branson, MO. He had his own theater and sold out big shows for years.

Guy is a hall-of-famer Branson performer, kind of like Wayne Newton out in Vegas.

Edit: I should also note that Covid and a fire at his theater ended his career rather suddenly. Sad, but I don’t know that he didn’t have millions of dollars to comfort him and his loved ones.

Not even Tarantino himself could lure her out of retirement, according to his book.

Maybe I let her go. I had her for several years on a themed list of performers in Japanese monster films. Changed themes and now she’s gone.
