He's on my LONGGG list but just that, for many future years from now to keep tabs on. " A cause of death is not yet known." I think we know what it was. Look at the bonuses I missed then. SC

'twas a joke silly. But I got the response I sought

Apparently so!

Amazing as I was listening to them just last night thinking we ain't heard much recently on MacGregor. I was listening to the bass line of Slow Ride thinking dammit I wish I could play like that. It would be an indictment of your press if he doesn't obit ffs. It's Foghat not some fly by night band. Anyway, RIP. SC

Anyone seen Midge Ure's acoustic set? Tix on sale today here. SC

"Due to ongoing ill health, Mick Ralphs will not be able to appear, but has given his blessing." Weeks from now his family will be asking for our blessings, and here he is giving his away!

Ditto DDT. Timing is everything.....glad you weren't any more a part of it. I had a similar moment once (car behind + beside me wiped out). SC

"The judge also ordered that he carries out 250 hours unpaid work..." Sounds like my employer So that video -- guy slides 20' or so on his left arm on concrete, gets up, and nary a scratch. He must have alligator skin not to have left some of it on the pavement.

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, who says he remains in remission from non-Hodgkin's lymphoma , announced Thursday he has been diagnosed with "very non-serious skin cancer ." Hogan had some skin removed last month from his forehead as part of regular trips he makes to the dermatologist. The governor said it turned out to be basal-cell and squamous-cell skin cancer, but not melanoma, which is a serious form of skin cancer. Yeah yeah....cancer isn't serious. Until it is. SC

Not only is the UK press ignoring Sims' funeral, so is Aston Villa! "08 Feb 2018 13:57:57Hearing the football phone in last night and I was disappointed to hear that Nigel Sims had no wreaths sent from villa at his funeral who he played for 300 games, Yet he played for a few games at wolves, Peterborough and they sent flowers and wreaths, I find this very poor from aston villa, It seems he has been forgotten in his years being a great goalie in our 57 cup winning side.

Except it was a joke. Don't get your panties in a bunch.

Damn shame he will be missing upcoming anti-doping tests. I mean what with him being clean and all.

I thought hitting a home run was the fight of Harrelson's life *rim shot* (7 in 4744 lifetime at bats). That's incredible, has to be top 5 poorest percentage ever. SC

I love how like seemingly 50% of the people we post--especially in the music category--are 'legends' or 'pioneers'. Lovebug Starski...... seriously? Pretty sure I know the actual pioneers of rap and hip hop, and pretty sure I'd have remembered someone called Lovebug. Those two paths have never crossed. Billboard, knock it off with the fucking embellishments. That goes for all obit writers everywhere. The fact is precious few of us humans are noteworthy at all, and in fact most of us pesky humans who DO accomplish something still go relatively unnoticed until our obit is published (I suspect having an interest in learning post hoc of these unsung heroes is why most of us enjoy this hobby). As for legends and pioneers, fuck off. Lovebug fucking Starski.....musta partnered with legend Lovebug Hutch. SC

David Kernell, the Germantown High graduate who guessed his way into Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin’s personal email account in 2008, died last week in California. He was 30. Kernell died of complications related to progressive multiple sclerosis (MS). David Kernell, once ranked in the top 10 percent of chess players in the U.S., was a 20-year-old economics major at the University of Tennessee Knoxville when he guessed the security answers to enter Palin's Yahoo! account, changed the password to "popcorn," and then posted the new password, family photographs and some emails on the online message board 4chan under the pseudonym "Rubico."

Jose Jose: March 2, ruining my Cup entry. Tsvangirai: March 30, helping my next month's Cup entry, should I survive this month. SC

You say that like it's a BAD thing.

"Masturbation kills up to 100 Germans a year, according to a study ...." The study is limited to Germans, GUN.
