Joey Russ

Cancels rest of his tour due to the infection.

Yeah, she’s already received a Mail mention, so they’d certainly follow up on her. They love reality tv stars...

Ahem, so as you can, there hasn’t been an update for a while. On the one hand, there has only been two joker deaths since I last did an update: John McCain and Montserrat Caballé. However, that’s not the reason why I haven’t done an update for a while. Without going into detail, there has been some aspects of my personal life that needs to be taken care of instead of this pool at this point and time. And, as you all know, I’m running both the Advent Avalanche and taking over the Crowdsource List starting this November, and when that time comes, I’m going to put a lot of focus on those pools instead of this one. So, there’s a good chance that there won’t be another update until after the new year. I will make sure that I close this pool before the first DDP update of the year though. And as such, this will be the final call for anyone willing to take over this pool, otherwise, this will slowly sink into the dead pool abyss...

No, didn’t you hear? The real senator from Arizona was actually Tydings, McCain was just a decoy for him, as he’s really lived Maryland till his death. (I know, I know, it’s a garbage joke, but fuck it, I’m posting here anyways)...

The fan vote looks like it’s going to be one of Stevie Nicks (meh) or Def Leppard (not a fan at all), so it’s a race on which two or three others will make the cut...

Kudos to deadsox and drol for having the duo of Celeste Yarnall.

Dead.

This year’s nominees for the rock and roll hall of fame are: Def Leppard Devo Janet Jackson John Prine Kraftwerk LL Cool J MC5 Radiohead Rage Against the Machine Roxy Music Rufus featuring Chaka Khan Stevie Nicks The Cure The Zombies Todd Rundgren Obviously it’s not taken seriously, but kudos for finally giving Roxy Music a nomination.

Recovering from an infection.

I don’t know about you, but I definitely wasn’t good at predicting deaths then. I wasn’t even born yet...

Yeah right, and I’m Pope Francis...

As expected, Brett Kavanaugh will be confirmed to the Supreme Court tomorrow. Lisa Murkowski is the lone Republican senator who’ll likely go against him, but Democrat Joe Manchin of West Virginia will vote for him, basically having the same effect as having their entire party uniting together. Sigh...

Ah, that may be why she lasted so long.

Probably should also be betting on the odds of whether he makes the drop 40 next year or not...

Another one of those “other pools” name, Auckland activist Penny Bright, did not make the starting line.

Surely he’s going to make the list soon, right? I mean, he’s one of the oldest names that is definitely deathlisty that hasn’t made the list yet...

Not really...

IIRC, when I did the list of names who were on the list but died off it, there were only 3 other names who were 96 and older but weren’t on the list who died. I feel like once you reached that age, you’re on the list till the day you die...

If it’s only on the testicle, he should be fine then...

His stepson dies of a drug overdose.

That’s a weird thing in being the most famous for, I must say.

Er, not really. They were still quite new to list making in the 80s and 90s, so it’s not surprising that some people are still living when they made the list then. Though they probably shouldn’t of picked the Lineker kid...

Here’s one for him. Australians almost always get a QO...
