This is only about the San Francisco Symphony. MTT still has concerts scheduled up to May 2024.

It deeply disturbs me that all the rants about Ruth Langsford's mother have been search-indexed.

People with her disease are expected to last "six to 28 years", so her heart will go on until at least 2028.

The only "objectionable" person I can think of is Shige Mineshiba (a non-notable supercentenarian), but she was only a sub so it hardly matters.

We won't be running out of Expos any time soon. Bartolo Colón is immortal.

Some people who I think should not be on the 2024 Deathlist: Franz Beckenbauer - we already have a football legend in the form of Denis Law Gene Hackman - He seems to be doing fine. His lack of public appearances makes him a boring pick Bernadette Chirac - Does not seem to be doing fine, but is far less famous and even more boring than Gene Hackman Emperor Akihito - he's happier, healthier, and more physically active than he was last year. Buzz Aldrin - between Aldrin and Lovell, Jim is a much better pick. George Soros - I don't know if you're aware, but this site is search-indexed. The last thing any website needs is a bunch of schizo freaks who think Soros is the antichrist.
