Opionions are like assholes. Everyone has one. So here's mine:
1)Dick Van Dyke: why so high? I get he has become a bedblocker and it is worse every year that passes, but he is doing sit-ups at 96! He should have been dropped, not promoted to #1. Sucks.
2)Henry Kissinger: obvious pick and deserves the spot, cause every year that passes we wonder how the hell is the fatso still alive. Well done.
3)Angela Lansbury: to me not responding the fan mail seems a sign of failing health. And she has not been seen in public for a bit. Well done.
4)Bob Barker: so old and ill it's even hard to think he is still alive. Well done.
5)Alan Greenspan: active and healthy at 95, no reason why he should die, beside being 95. Why the hell here and why the hell so high? Sucks.
6)Nigel Starmer-Smith: Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo?????????????????????????????????????? Fails fame requirements and not even that ill.
7)Loretta Lynn: healthy, active and not so old, but let's keep her another year just to waste a spot. Hate it, hate it, hate it.
8)June Brown: another one who won't die for a long time. I get the cult status, but it's wasted again. Sucks.
9)Jimmy Carter: how the hell is he still alive? Should have been much higher. Well done.
10)Tony Bennett: he has Alzheimer's but is physically well, so early for him. Much early. Nah.
11)Dick Cheney: seems alright, but will be running out of fuel. Not that bad, not that good.
12)QEII: another wasted spot, but I guess she is on until death. Bah.
13)Harry Belafonte: looking more and more like a goblin, I feel his time is close. Nice.
14)Mel Brooks: still active. too early. Just no.
15)Mikhail Gorbachev: finally back! How is this fucker still alive? Great
16)Bobby Charlton: way too early, way too early. Wasted pick.
17)David Attenborough: go on with the healthies nonagenarians in the world. No way.
18)Akihito: why the hell this guy is here again???? He is relatively young, has no major health problems! Why not fucking Jiang Zemin instead of him. What a stupid pick.
19)Leslie Phillips: why still alive? Ding dong time finally!
20)Rosalynn Carter: some minor health issues, I don't think it's her time yet. Mediocre.
21)Sandy Gall: boring boring boring pick. I hope he dies so we won't see him again. Booooring.
22)Desmond Morris: surely famous and old. So-so pick.
23)Ted Kaczinsky: in failing health and very famous. Great!
24)Jean-Marie Le Pen: not that bad of a pick. Could be his year. 50-50
25)Estelle Harris: don't know, she seems so random. Could be a post for Eve Marie Saint, waaaay more iconic.
26)James Whale: he might even die. No one knows him outside UK, so fuck him. Who?
27)Cleo Laine: see Sandy Gall. Another boring pick. Zzzzzzzz
28)Bill Turnbull: see James Whale. Whooooo?
29)Jerry Lee Lewis: how is this guy still alive? Great!
30)Jacques Delors: I thin he is a very good pick.
31)Denis Law: see Charlton. Way too early.
32)Prunella Scales: oh, God, I don't understand the fixation with this woman. She ain't dying in the near future. Wasted spot.
33)Sidney Poitier: very old and apparently not so healthy. May it finally be it.
34)Burt Bacharach: they feared he would die off-list if dropped. But he seems alright. No es bueno.
35)Stanley Baxter: generically old and frail. No specific issues. Decent.
36)Robert Durst: good pick, but I suspect if he was as sick as he said he would be already dead. Does he meet fame criteria?
37)Noam Chomsky: old and frail, finally on. Well done.
38)Bill Treacher: completely unknown outside the UK. Don't know much about him. ?.
39)Norman Tebbit: finally the old bastard on the list! Great
40)David Crosby: wasted pick as usual. Complainer à la Superstar Billy Graham. Drop him!
41)Pelé: a shoe-in. Famous and very ill. Good pick.
42)Michael Gambon: based only on some dementia rumours. Likely too early, but I won't be too surprised if it happens. Let's see.
43)Douglas Hurd: seems he has been around forever. Could be a nice choice.
44)Silvio Berlusconi: this guy is running for fucking president! Stupidest pick ever.
45)Marianne Faithful: has been on oxygen for ages and COVID has not helped. Still think it's too early.
46)Milan Kundera: a French colleague of mine told me he had terminal heart failure and was dying. That was 4 years ago. Immortal potential.
47)Linda Ronstadt: too early, you can live decades with palsy. Another wasted spot.
48)Jean-Luc Godard: clearly frail, has Parkinson and maybe cancer. Great pick.
49)Joss Ackland: known enough, old and likely frail. Like this pick.
50)Shane McGowan: Now that's really the stupidest pick ever. Leave this guy alone!!!!
