Joey Russ

Wow. I thought she was one of my major gambles along with John Cocks, Stuart Fraser, and Mark E Smith, and yet, so far, 2 out of 4 has already gone. Think that’ll secure a top ten spot...

Jacqui Forster has died. Tbh, I think I overestimated her obit chances, but if she does obit, it’ll put me as part of the major contenders. Saddened by this though, she seemed like a nice lady.

Well, since I’m probably not going to make it to next round, I don’t feel as obligated in hiding certain names...

Improving after surgery.

Lindsay Cappotelli’s Facebook page notes that Matt is going to try some radiation treatments for cancer. While I can’t link the Facebook post (don’t know why I can’t link the posts on to here), the photo that came with it, well, have your own interpretation of it...

Think he’ll be dead in two days. I won’t pick the next two days, however. I’ll pick my birthday, April 28.

He got a mention in the Telegraph two years ago. That said, I still say it's tough for him, as many jazz musicians aren't receiving an obit as of late (Cecil Taylor being the exception at the moment).

Recovering apparently, but I remember that Muhammad Ali seemed to be okay at the beginning of his final hospitalization... EDIT: The above post ninja’d me, and Ali also had sepsis. Hmm...

By the looks of it, I think Philomena Lynott might be able to survive the year, though I wouldn’t put my money on it...

So, to clarify, someone like Roberta McCain would not count since she’s only known to be related to a famous individual, right?

Didn’t they file for bankruptcy years ago but came back afterwards?

I understand that the overall quality of threads has decreased in recent weeks, but don’t think this is a pointless thread, especially since this brought a lot of replies from many different people that’s actually focused on the topic at hand...
