"Look at me not having heard of this person other people have heard of, how edgy am I?" posts are unedifying and crass regardless of who posts them, and are akin to those times DJL called any non-Oz Deathlist dull imo.

It’s also a bad time to be without an avatar. SORT IT.

Done so.

People need to get a grip. Every 'celebrity ' has a following that they are relevant for, and have meaning for. Expand your minds and appreciate the differences between societies and cultures. Regarding John Prine, he is definitely a legend in some circles, and has influence far beyond those. Maybe you haven't heard of him, but have you heard of Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, and Roger Waters? Here what they have to say about him: Prine is widely regarded as one of the most influential songwriters of his generation. In 2009, Bob Dylan told The Huffington Post that Prine was one of his favorite writers, stating "Prine's stuff is pure Proustian existentialism. Midwestern mindtrips to the nth degree. And he writes beautiful songs. I remember when Kris Kristofferson first brought him on the scene. 'Sam Stone' featuring the wonderfully evocative line: 'There’s a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes, and Jesus Christ died for nothing I suppose.'[16] All that stuff about "Sam Stone," the soldier junkie daddy, and "Donald and Lydia", where people make love from ten miles away. Nobody but Prine could write like that."[17] Johnny Cash, in his autobiography Cash, wrote, "I don't listen to music much at the farm, unless I'm going into songwriting mode and looking for inspiration. Then I'll put on something by the writers I've admired and used for years--Rodney Crowell, John Prine, Guy Clark, and the late Steve Goodman are my Big Four..."[18] Roger Waters, when asked by Word Magazine in 2008 if he heard Pink Floyd's influence in newer British bands like Radiohead, replied, "I don't really listen to Radiohead. I listened to the albums and they just didn't move me in the way, say, John Prine does. His is just extraordinarily eloquent music—and he lives on that plane with Neil Young and Lennon."[19] 2004 saw Prine's song "Sam Stone" covered by Laura Cantrell for the Future Soundtrack for America compilation.

He is a complete nobody that no-one has ever heard of except a couple of yee-haw country devotees, heaven knows how he even got his own thread unless he bribed one of the mods. "You picked a fine time to leave me John Prine"

You've taken that straight from my Tinder bio

And again for the triple. Do it.

MPFC line up duly despatched to Joey's inbox, where they'll likely be told to stand down. I've instructed some of the new talent assembled just in case they're needed for next month to WEIGHTON see what happens

It's fascinating to read about the history of that song. Alan Merrill wrote it, and Joan Jett's cover version is almost identical, but of course became the big hit. Merrill was also the first Western superstar in Japan (early 70s). His band seemed to be something between Slade and the Bay City Rollers, but due to internal fighting never really got to the top. Also he grew up with Laura Nyro, a famous singer-songwriter in the 70s, although they were only living together as kids because his aunt married her uncle, they grew up as brother and sister.

It's really quite shocking how many people this thing is taking allready.

Honestly, you should see some of the names bandied about in some of our Deadpools; fuck mine, some of them are proper grasping at straws. Think most DL members would qualify, leave alone the actually famous. P.S. Get yourself an avatar!

There is no logic in monarchy. It’s all accident of birth you bloody fool. Have you been reading the American tabloids again? I noted on Twitter that the Diana fans were out in force saying Charles getting Coronavirus was karma for what he did to Diana. Naturally I asked them if it was karma that caused Diana to smash into that wall. Long story short, they were NOT happy...

You don't even have to be particularly regular here to know "your" angry tone Deathers. It's one of the few reasons I check in occasionally

ahahah If there's one of them dying from it, I'll eat pudding (god knows I Hate it)

Scenes when they all get better and Willz advances thanks to Frank Ifield.

This is one that has been floating round since Boris's speech.....

"Do as I say, not as I do."

Uncharacteristic of her to stay at home with her loved ones.

Kate pronounces should stay at home and look after our loved ones. My advice to her - go out, touch everything you can and hug strangers.

Sir Lenox Hewitt, Australian public servant, dead at 102. Also the father of Patricia Hewitt, 71, former British Health Secretary (2005–2007) and Labour MP (1997–2010).

I did not know about these killings and after reading about it... Ugh. Horrific. Stuff of nightmares. Glad those sickos are dead.
