Produced Avatar and Titanic - not bad.
So… not the same Jon Landau that was Springsteen’s longtime manager? I remember seeing his name in movie credits and always just assumed it was the same guy.
Not the same one, no. The one mentioned above would have been about 13 at the time Greeting from Asbury Park was released.
Labor activist and author Jane McAlvey dead at 59, with 41 points for me. Rest in power, sister!
Actor Doug Sheehan has died at 75.
One less Republican asshole:
Former US Sen. Jim Inhofe dies at 89 | AP News

Ah, so that’s why I heard Elvira on the radio today.
I’ve noticed that the last time an updated points list was posted was June 4 post 1245 and there’s been a number of point filled passings. I’m guessing that Baker is still in recovery mode and I’m hoping that phungi is just taking an extended siesta. So, I hope no one will mind or take umbrage if I post an updated list. Note: I don’t capture how many deaths each player has accumulated in my excel sheet.

Halfway through the year and I ain’t got diddly.
And I ain’t got squat.
I am magically keeping 13 peoplealive.
I don’t know that I’d heard of her before, but having read her Wikipedia bio, she’s clearly one who’s gone way too soon.
It’s been said before, but one more time: fuck cancer.
I’d say I’m #2 but I try harder, except of course once the year begins, it’s “die or die not, there is no try.” 
I had Donald Sutherland as an alternate. That doesn’t count?
I don’t think so. You only get points for someone on your active list, not the alternate ones.
Those are just for the earliest stage if someone on your list dies before the year officially begins. Or, as more often happens, if you accidentally included someone already gone.
