I was very stupid for forgetting about the Ramones as an obvious example of a group whose members are all dead. I was also very successful in diverting this thread away from its original topic.

He doesn't look great does he? With Ginger Baker also ill and Jack Bruce already gone in the not too distant future there may be no living members of Cream left. How many other groups have all the former members dead? Jimi Hendrix Experience was one of the first groups to clear, back in 2008 with the death of Mitch Mitchell. ELP almost did it last year if not for that plucky Palmer (who by the way, I'd put money on being alive in 2030).

No, I would say that calling him a massive miss is pretty much spot on. March 2017 has been a fairly quiet month for deaths up until this point. I mean, there was Joni Sledge but who else was there?

If it was pneumonia that can be quite hit or miss. If it doesn't kill a person and they make a recovery they are usually safe for a while, but with older people it is quite often fatal.

Nothing quite like saying it like it is!

Robert Fripp's diary includes an account of John Wetton's funeral: https://www.dgmlive.com/diaries/Robert Fripp/RF_diary_2017_Feb_23 Looking back further through Robert Fripp's diary, we find some correspondence between Fripp and Wetton: https://www.dgmlive.com/diaries/Robert Fripp/RF_diary_2017_Jan_31 You may notice all the "I love you xxx" in those emails - is it just me, or is it not a bit gay for two heterosexual men to talk like that, even if they have been friends for many years and one of them is seriously ill with cancer? Or am I just a homophobic prick? Anyway - after the deaths of prog giants Squire, Emerson, Lake and Wetton, hopefully there won't be any more big name deaths on the prog scene for a good while.

Nigel Farage had his radio show cancelled tonight!

Not a fan of the new look to the forum to be honest!

Can't believe I actually completely missed Raymond Smullyan's death seeing as he was on my own personal 2017 list! Probably due to the lack of reliable news sources...

Oh and saw this last night, the India episode. I wouldn't give Bill Oddie more than 10 years, he's actually a lot more pot bellied than I thought he was and seems to like his own company too much and prefers not to take part in group activities involving exercise. The 87 year old whose name I forget was in good health for his age, but I still would give him 5 years tops. Can't even remember too much about the rest of them.

Bloody hell, you watch The One Show? I switch my TV over to channel 732 at 7pm in protest at The One Show's existence. Utterly banal shite that it is.

To be fair... She does.

It's the committee again and their omissions of good and obvious picks (Soares, Hollingworth, Wetton).

Never ever got one of these right before... Going with Peter Sallis

Some families are just cursed with multiple tragedies happening to them. Actually, I'd never heard of Frank Sidebottom until last year. Hope that doesn't make me an ignoramus or anything.

You could always look. There's plenty of sites out there on which to do your research. In all honesty, I don't even look at porn on my computer. Don't want it getting full of viruses and nasty malware which these sites are full of. TBF, its better to watch porn and get a virus on your computer than to go out, get you leg over then end up with a nasty virus................. True that! But to fill your computer with porn and go on porn sites on a regular basis, does your average laptop as much good as smoking 40 a day does to a human. I smoked 20 + a day for 30 yrs, I gave up 2 1/2 yrs ago and ive felt more shit than when I smoked! As my old mum used to say, you'll be fine as long as you wipe it clean afterwards. I think the rule is to have a slash afterwards. And if you have a nippy piss you're all like... If you don't get it the first time, try saying it aloud.

I saw an episode of this a few months back and they had Bobby George, Wayne Sleep, Rosemary Shrager and Miriam Margoyles going around in Japan. Definitely agree with those who say Sleep is one of the fittest on the show by far and is likely to last a long time yet. Out of the four I mentioned, the other three do not look in good shape at all particularly. Has the new series with them in India started yet?

Wow, this sounds like you all live/lived in a ´Cancer Cluster´area. MOVE asap! Something is in the soil or water that is making everyone die too young. It might not be too late for you. Do some research on the LOVE CANAL in New York state. Any chemical factories or something similar nearby now or in the past? (P.S. The government will NOT help you.) Nope, just bad genes...and Chernobyl might have played a part and the war also.... Can you edit some of your sig? It does seem a bit too long. Maybe use the 'spoiler' tab? There is an x at the corner of the sig in case you want to hide a sig, so you should use it. It's still comment courtesy to use spoiler tags Massively long signatures are self-indulgent. 99% of people have no interest in other people's teams. I just link my current DDP team for the 1%. Got to disagree there. I like reading others' signatures to see if they have made a decent list or not

If it's a good precedent to go by, John Wetton did that quite a few times before he died - stopped tweeting when in hospital receiving treatment for a few weeks, then started again when able to do so. His last tweet was 17 days before his death.

It's a form of mental illness. In some cases it's sexually based. There was that documentary "Fat Girls and Feeders" that came out donkey's years ago way back in the early 2000s. There was a repeat of it shown recently, made me want to puke. There's nothing wrong at all with a woman being curvy, in fact many men like that - it's just morbid obesity that is extremely unhealthy and to see it actively encouraged is disgusting.

Bannon has horrible skin! That pic is just too high res for its own good.

You may be too busy thinking "look at the size of the arse on that bit of stuff" to notice, but he's seriously gotta be the doppelganger of Pete Townshend out of the Who. He has the same nose and everything!

Read this on my phone at work and found it funny; had to come back and fave it on my computer at home. Sad bastard that I am...
