If You Could, What Celebrity's Death Would You Prevent?

Cafe Society
1

For me , it’s John Denver.

I know. He had a turbulent private life, didn’t he?

But onstage, he always made sure he gave me the best show he could, and had I ever been dissatisfied and could let him know, I believe he would have given me my money back.

Folks say me and John look alike, and I take that as a compliment, even though I am nowhere near the musician/songwriter he was.

(I also have to wear my ROUND glasses and let my hair grow “just right”, to hear that compliment!:))

Anyway, in e-mailing with a friend just recently, I kinda got the idea that his death was totally accidental, and if I could have been in that littlle “kit-plane” with him, I would have showed him to where that particular switch had been moved.

I miss John Denver.

Thanks

Freddie Mercury. Maybe all we missed would have been a descent into mediocrity, but I doubt it.

3

Betty White. My attempts so far have been fruitful.

My other choice is Bea Arthur, but I don’t like to harp on my failures.

I rarely do this, but…ROTFLMAO!!!

Since this is about celebrities, I’m going to move it over to Cafe Society.

This Righty votes for John Lennon- and no, not by shoving Yoko into the line of fire.

Phil Hartman

Well, I’m not going there with you. So there!

Thanks, Quasi. Sometimes I wonder if my humor gets lost on here.

Twicks?

While you’re still here, could you also change “WHAT” to "“WHOSE” in the title line, please?

I think I had a brain-BM when I wrote that!:smack:

Thanks

You want him to change it to “Whose Celebrity”? That wouldn’t make sense!

11

"Which" ?

Would THAT work better?:confused:

Sorry, guess maybe it’s not just a “Brain-BM”, but “Brain- Diarrhea”.:rolleyes:

Twicks: Just whatever works, Hon, okay?

Sorry, not having a good day, apparently.

Jimmy Carter

“What” works fine, I’ll leave it.

Thank You!

Q

I assume that politicians don’t count.

My first thought was John Lennon and I can’t think of anyone better.

16

Richard Harris. He’s a better Dumbledore than Michael Gambon.
Heath Ledger… But I’d like to somehow know that in another universe he did die, so that I can compare the reviews of his performance as the Joker between the two universes… though I suspect he’d still get very good reviews in the universe where he lived, because I strongly believe that the general consensus that he stole the show has nothing to do with the fact that he died.

ETA: If Oliver Reed’s life as a drunk was overall still good, him. If not, it’s good that he died. His suffering would be over. A dead person can’t give in to the evil stuff.

17

I didn’t mean to imply any limitations, so yes, politicians too, although we may be stumbling into IMHO territory before long!:slight_smile: (with all due respect to the mods who will make that decision, of course!)

About John Lennon?

Yeah. I would have liked to delay Mark David Chapman long enough for John to get back to his flat in the Dakota.

I firmly believe that he and Paul McCartney would have reconciled and there would have been many more years of beautifully written tunes.

I have more opinions regarding Messrs. Lennon and McCartney, but those are best left for another thread.

Q

18

Jim Henson. Without a doubt, the world is a lesser place without him.

19

Jimi Hendrix, although I’m not sure how I would stop problems caused by long-term drug or alcohol abuse.

Another vote for Phil Hartman

Ok, so, all I know is that Phil Hartman was a slightly annoying character on ‘News Radio’… So why the love for him?
