    Authors Last A Long Time, But....

    In the wee hours of the morning here it took a couple of minutes before I clued in on the issue. Could've sworn I looked up 'Evelyn' before posting. Do appreciate it though, for the record, I notice some of my obit postings subsequently get listed in other threads as originals. Ten days later in the same thread...perhaps not quite.

    Next shocking death?

    Phil Collins. He's out-aged Peter Gabriel and looks to be steadying himself with the microphone stand. Besides, I think that's God standing behind him with the guitar starting around the 3:05 mark of the song, so he might not have long to go.
