Oh, I'm Lenny Henry now am I? What, do we all look the same or something? You racist fucking prick.

Ok, Daniel Day Lewis then

LONG DEAD, SALLY 10/50 9th May 2020 Rock and roll legend Little Richard has died in order to bring the crowdsource list into double digits. Good golly what a year it has been so far. He began his career after Sister Rosetta Tharpe overheard a 14 year Penniman singing, and she invited him to open her show. Little did she know at the time that it launched perhaps the most important figure in the history of rock. His energy, vocal styling, and flamboyant personality all became traits of rock that so many people followed him on. The song that brought him into the mainstream, "Tutti Frutti", also kicked off the long and ongoing era of very horny music men such as Mick Jagger and Justin Timberlake, for better or for worse. One thing is for certain though. His nickname "The Innovator, The Originator, and The Architect of Rock and Roll" really showed how important to the music scene he was, and even as rock slowly fades away from the mainstream, his impact will never be forgotten. It showed too. He was among the first inductees to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame when it began, and he also was inducted to the Songwriters Hall of Fame, received a Lifetime Achievement award from the Recording Academy, and won a Rhapsody and Rhythm award from the National Museum of African American Music. It seemed like everything was perfect for him, until he denounced homosexuality in 2017 after being bisexual his entire life. He had health problems in recent years, and while the committee made a poor choice of dropping him, the crowdsource voters Couldn't Help It but pick him for the list. It wasn't until today though that Little Richard let the Grim Reaper in after he Kept On Knockin. The Grim Reaper sure likes to ball, eh? He debuted at spot 36 after just missing out on the list last time.

Huge loss, a heavyweight of chemistry

Racist casting.

Doug Shanklin, who played a prison guard in Star Trek III: The Search For Spock, died March 13th. He was 68. https://burtfuneralhomes.com/obituaries/mr-douglas-alan-shanklin/

Darrin Patrick, founder of the Journey megachurch, has died. He was 49. Patrick died from a gunshot suicide while target shooting with his friend. https://www.stltoday.com/news/local/obituaries/darrin-patrick-who-founded-the-journey-megachurch-dies-at-49/article_14df0e37-dda0-5c91-8272-62f7a36028e1.html

Yes, brother, how can you leave a heavyweight like this off, while in his place we have white featherweights like Bill Gates' dad. Almost some apartheid style list. This is the Rosa Parks moment of this forum. We must rise up for this fight.

Small children cycling on the roads. Yes, I know there's not so much traffic at the moment but jeez. I live in a part of the country where there are loads of hills and the roads between the villages are like rollercoasters. Today I had to drive to the next village and little kids were out on bikes on the steep hills. Recipe for disaster.

Yes, I agree that offending posts should be left to stand, for reasons already given. Also as a demonstration of what is deemed unacceptable. Plus it stands as an answer to people who wonder "Why did X get banned, I didn't think s/he said anything that bad". (This is mainly a criticism of other forums. Not much gets nuked here.)

MOSS CROSSES THE LAST FINISH LINE 9/50 12th April 2020 Legendary Formula One racer Stirling Moss has won his last race at 90 by being the next success in an ever growing list of successes. His racing career lasted from 1948 to 1962, winning a whopping 212 out of his 529 races. You'd think that means he'd be an easy candidate to win a world championship, but sadly that wasn't meant to be. He competed in the world championship 7 times between 1955 and 1961, winning 2nd four times and 3rd the other three times he raced. Still, his racing career was amazing and was since called the greatest racer who never called a world championship. After racing, he became a colour commentator for ABC's Wide World of Sports from 1962 to 1980, and he also made some one off racing appearances too. His health was reportedly poor in 2017, and he eventually stepped away from the limelight in January 2018. As such, the voters picked him for the last two years, this year increasing his position to 17th place.

In two weeks we've gone from 9 teams still on 0 points to only 3 teams with less than 10 points. Bit of a bloodbath, all told.

R.I.P., Little Richard. I have to be honest: I never liked his music or any other 50s Rock'n'Roll sound.

Well, she works for her, it was to be expected. Oh, you mean THAT virus.

HOT ON HEELS OF DEATH 8/50 14th March 2020 Influential musician, performance artist, and occultist Genesis P-Orridge has gone cold after a long cancer battle to give the crowdsource list another success. Born Neil Andrew Megson, they eventually adopted the name Genesis P-Orridge as a nom-de-guerre. They first gained some attention when, alongside Cosey Fanni Tutti, he founded COUM Transmissions, which dealt with a lot of controversial topics at the time such as sex work, pornography, serial killers, and occultism. It was music, however, that their influence can be felt today. Founding the band Throbbing Gristle in 1975, they made music that was way ahead of their time, and indeed even today it can be hard to listen to. However, it set the groundwork for the industrial genre of music, where bands like Nine Inch Nails and Ministry would later gain success. They also fronted the group Psychic TV, another very experimental band that is hard to listen to and is ahead of it's time, albeit with it slightly easier to listen to than the preceding band. They were a very controversial and decisive person. For example, P-Orridge left the UK in 1992 after some sexual abuse allegations against them. Whether you like P-Orridge or not though, there's no denying he made an impact on society, for better or for worse. In the past few years, P-Orridge struggled with a battle with leukemia, and 2019 really saw a deterioration of his health. As such, they were a no brainer for the list, jumping all the way to 7th place in their debut year.

You are will proved to be an cunt.

Little Richard not a hit here

Thought that dude died years ago. Edit: Upon re-reading that, it sounds like blabber a drunk would say. Tho-tha-duu-diie'd. Huh.

One of the lesser known Simpsons predictions . Though when you're fucking around with Tigers and lions , asking them to dance and speak one day you'll piss off the wrong big cat.

Olivia de Havilland is becoming the new Oscar niemeyer. Outlasted alot of people you start to think they'll live on and on. She'll die soon imo.

I came up with "Lochdown" on SM before any Scotsman did. @Paul Bearer @msc etc

Don't know if it's been posted anywhere else, but Matina Sirtis (Councelor Troi) tweeted her husband died in his sleep last night. Quote "I’m going to be gone for a while. My beloved husband passed away peacefully in his sleep last night"
