@Book @Bibliogryphon NB! The last two postings seem to be based on an older posting, not on @MariNisia ‘s posting. For example the last two songs should be: 08 Mario — Let Me Love You 08 Duncan James & Keedie — I Believe My Heart No one should post until this is fixed

Well that was probably the worst In Memoriam segment production the Oscars have come out with to date. Over produced, annotations not legible, and dancers(!!) on stage that stole all the focus. How do they get this wrong every fucking year and STILL manage to make it worse every single time?

Is there a jug eared Ken to go with it?

I had a feeling this'd be one of the first out of the door unfortunately, but somehow I find it charming. I'd probably think it was a load of guff if it was released 5-10 years later than it was but it's one of those songs that transports me back to a simpler time: round my nan and grandad's with my cousins, sofa-headbanging to whatever the music channels were playing. Oh to be in a worry-free world.

Brilliant! That's one of the great things about this game: players listening to the songs they didn't already know and perhaps finding some new stuff they're into.

Crossposting the death of Michael Culver (wiki). Guardian obit. Appeared in The Empire Strikes Back as Captain Needa. "Apology accepted, Captain Needa."

Voting down Rachel cos she had her chance last round and she fucked it.

He’s just a guy who had to climb into an iron lung every night. Absolutely not going to get a NYT obit.

Charlie Bird is dead - and a unique (!) hit for therewillbedeaths7. The veteran Irish journalist was the primary media contact for the provisional IRA in the 1990s after having reported on the peace process for a decade. Not only that, he covered global issues for about 40 years until his MND diagnosis finally slowed him down. He pretty much alerted everybody to his impending death, though MND/ALS is always tricky to time.

Jacques Delors passed 12/27/2023. It appears your sub Oscar Wyatt, would take his place on your list.

Charlie Bird Dead

Although she undoubtedly wears a lot of makeup, she still looks great for someone in their 90s.

So who will be the next for you ? I would Say Philippe de Gaulle
