Celebrity Death Pool 2014

This Bob Grant? Died 31 Dec.
Ninja’d by Loach…

Damn just read through the article and it looks like his wake is open to the public. And the funeral home is on my route home from work. That place overflows onto the highway when there is a three car funeral. Looks like I’ll be taking the back way home.

The Death Pool… providing valuable benefits just two days in! :wink:

What did he say about Sec. Brown?

In the cite

Maybe Grant had Ron Brown in a Death Pool

I like the way you think. :smiley:

John “Jay” Traynor, of Jay and the Americans dead at 30 points http://www.vintagevinylnews.com/2014/01/passings-jay-traynor-of-mystics-and-jay.html

Cripes, that makes two death stories I “broke”, and two that died before year’s end.

Before you know it, I’ll be reporting on the passing of Bo Diddly.

But, Bo don’t know diddly.

Whaddaya know, he actually died in 2014!

I remember Jay and the Americans from when I was growing up, with songs like “Sunday and Me” and “This Magic Moment.” But from looking at their Wikipedia page last night, apparently Traynor was bumped from the group pretty early, and the second ‘Jay’ of the group, David ‘Jay’ Black, was the vocalist for practically all the songs they’re known for.

Jack Woolley of BBC radio drama The Archers has finally died of Alzheimers in his rest home, but he doesn’t count because, y’know, he’s fictional. But worth noting for the novelty factor: Arnold Peters, the actor who played him for decades died last May; once the BBC had used up their stock of pre-recorded material the character was spoken to but never spoke. And because of the parallels: after they had established Woolley’s storyline of encroaching Alzheimers, Peters himself was diagnosed with the condition. Peters recorded his last speaking parts from his own rest home, not entirely lucid but a consummate professional able to deliver his lines to the end.

We now return you to the discussion of real current dead people.

Phil Everly of the Everly Brothers dies at 74.

Actress Barbara Lawrence, who played Gertie Cummings in Oklahoma!, dies at 83

Bye, bye love.
Bye bye Phil Everly.
Bye bye 26 points.
He wasn’t on my li-ist.

OK, this is weird. Nobody had Phil Everly, but one player has Don Everly, Phil’s brother. Why not pick both?

Oscar-winning producer for “One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest” Saul Zaentz dead at 92

Sorry for all the posts but they keep dying!

Alicia Rhett, famous for her role as India Wilkes in Gone with the Wind, dies at 98

:smack: Because Don was the older of the two.

So bye-bye those points, goodbye-hi
(me too)

I had her last year! But noooooooo, she couldn’t help me out and give me three unique picks for the year.
