    Tbf PB, he offers a bit of comedy relief which makes a nice change from the usual infighting on here. If I were you I’d just let him burn himself out.

    The joke has already gone so stale. I don’t see how people find it to be anymore amusing than any poster posting a no namer nonstop

    Not your typical immortal type of pick but surely Steve Gleason and OJ Brigance qualifies as an immortal at this point right? They’ve had ALS for well over a decade now, with Brigance in particular being in his 17th year next year

    Guardian didn't publish their obit (online at least) until 2 days after he died, while the Telegraph waited an about a day (same with the BBC). Which is a bit of a delay. Not massive, but certainly not quick either.

    You really don’t know what you’re talking about at all. They only posted “a day later” because Lightfoot’s death was announced late in the day and it’s already the next day in the UK.

    Likely to die maybe, but a rather minor figure musically. Nowhere near as important as Mark E. Smith and Genesis P-Orridge were in their fields.

    Maybe it’s a US/Generational Gap thing but I definitely wouldn’t call the Furs rather minor. The fact that John Hughes named one of his films after a Psychedlic Furs hit (as well as use the song in said film) proves they have at least some sort of major presence in pop culture

    Have to say that I only know him thanks to deadpooling (have him in the ABC pool iirc), I know nothing about the Psychedelic Furs so I don't know how big they were/are, but I wouldn't be surprised if he made the DL considering Gord Downie and Mark E. Smith were on it some years ago.

    Psychedelic Furs definitely are a bigger name than The Fall or Tragically Hip were

    Normally I wouldn’t open up a thread for someone like him, but as I am planning on going on dead pooling hiatus soon and I really don’t want him to be forgotten about in the dead pooling realm, I think this is a good farewell gift. 
    So for those unaware, John Ashton has been battling stage 4 prostate cancer for the past couple of years, and while on paper he doesn’t seem to be doing horribly, he also doesn’t seem to have the miracle treatment that Andy Taylor had with his cancer. And I’m still getting similar vibes with him as I did with Sylvain Sylvain when I picked him in 2020 and foolishly dropped him in 2021 (although admittedly my dead pooling instincts might be a bit rusty given my motivation for it has been all but wiped right now). 
    I definitely think he should be considered for pools, and could even see him as a cool death list pick. I’ll make sure to advocate for him to appear on the list next year assuming he’s not a hit in the next month and a half…

    Note, I am planning on to mostly retire from dead pooling at least for the time being (I’ll submit the gag Hartlepool team I usually do and my 60s counterculture theme team but those are the only things that I plan on entering). Which means I won’t be opening a thread for the advent Avalanche this year. Fortunately this is an extremely easy pool to run so I’m sure someone can open one up to continue the tradition
