Wikipedia now has him at 93 years, 121 days. This beats Reagan, who had 93 years and 120 days.
Now time to see if he can go for another 45 to beat Ford. Personally, I think he will go well beyond, and I wouldn't be surprised if he makes 94 at this point.
True story. On January 1st 2015, I looked at the DDP team Death Impends put up, and thought to myself "He picked an I Love Lucy scriptwriter? That's obscure!"
I'd misread Schuller for Schiller.
Whatever you think of Meatloaf, there is no denying that Bat Out Of Hell is a hugely influential and classic album. Lyrical genius and a performance that any of today's few decent rock bands would be hard pressed to match.
I take your point but I can 100% guarantee I will never leave the UK as I will not fly, or sail, or go under the sea on a train. Jesus, I shit my pants on a Ferris wheel, I definitely ain't gettin on no plane, sucker!
Ken Campbell auditioned for the role of Doctor Who. Producer and BBC thought he'd be too scary for kids. They signed his former protege, Sylvester McCoy, instead.
^ Yeah, I know who they are!
So what I'm getting from the forum last few days is there's a whole bunch of heathens that don't like Kate Bush or Meatloaf. Hah.
I’ve heard of Kate Bush and listened to some of her music before (though she’s not one of my favorite artists tbh). I can’t say the same thing about The Clovers at all (seriously, who are they?).
At the moment, I have more than 20 great names to potentially make my team. I’m hoping some of them will die before the start of the year to make the selection process slightly easier, but it’s not going to be that way in the end because new names are still going to show up in these last three months especially. And we have yet to see that major new wave artist that will announce their terminal illness that I keep having a feeling about (no, Olivia Newton John doesn’t count)...
Just saw a tweet saying E. Windsor has died.https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/sep/12/edith-windsor-lgbt-rights-activist-dies-at-88 Got me quite excited for a minute !
I'm starting to have a feeling that maybe there won't be any more hits this year, just like in 2003. Maybe there's some sort of divine limit of 14 celeb deaths per year! Still there's plenty of time left..
