my what!?

Joanne Woodward til the day I die

can’t believe he lasted 8 years, i always thought parasites died with their host

going with woodward until one of us dies

japanese composer and pianist, Joe Hisaishi, popular for his work on Studio Ghibli films, has postponed another concert due to ill health. probably nothing (as it is cold and flu season afterall, and he is a 74-years old man), but maybe something to keep an eye on. this will be the 6th postponed or cancelled concert in 2 years, we'll see if these cancellations increase in frequency.

going with woodward until i’m right

out with the old, and in with the new! wildstorm’s shadow list 2025 (2/50): Roberta Flack Joanne Woodward Noam Chomsky Tom Brokaw Judge Frank Caprio Sophie Kinsella Peter Yarrow Phil Robertson (Duck Dynasty) José Mujica Victoria Jackson (Saturday Night Live) Donald Sterling Ron Jeremy Robin Trower (Procol Harum) Tippi Hedren Alan Alda Ruth Buzzi Harvey Weinstein James Van Der Beek (Dawson’s Creek) Eva Marie Saint Brian Wilson (Beach Boys) Ted Turner Mitch McConnell Liza Minelli Lee Grant Ozzy Osbourne Phillip Springer Buzz Aldrin Joseph Fritzl Mark Volman (The Turtles) Deryck Whibley (Sum41) Jesse Jackson Garry Chalk Willie Nelson Franki Valli Chris Hoy Don King Sonny Rollins Dave Coulier (Full House) Willie O’Ree Francois Clemens Vanessa Redgrave Ray Anthony John Williams Jean Coutu Alan Greenspan Dr. James Watson Linda Nolan Robert Munsch Neil Young King Charles III sub: Robert Wagner

i agree that the performance of the 2024 list was just bad luck, but i thought this would give people a cheap chuckle.

some music themed suggestions for the DL: Mick Jones (81), Songwriter/Guitarist “Foreigner” - Parkinson’s Disease for several years; can no longer tour as of mid-2023 John Kander (98), Composer (“Cabaret”, “Chicago”, “New York, New York”) - Old, but still sharp, might make 100 Neil Young (80), Musician - Diabetic with multiple health problems over the years; cancelled tour for ‘health reasons’ Roger O’Donnell (70), Musician (The Cure) - Lymphoma and Blood Cancer (but appears to be on the up-and-up, if you think a relapse is worth the gamble) Robin Trower (80), Guitarist (Procal Harum) - Undisclosed serious health issues and requiring ‘major operation’. some shadow list suggestions for the rest (as they likely aren't famous enough in the UK): Francois Clemens (80), Actor (Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood) and Grammy-Winning singer - Poor health (following multiple strokes) and in an assisted-living facility. Phil Robertson (79), Reality Show Star (Duck Dynasty) - Alzheimer’s and Blood Disease Wendy Williams (60), Broadcaster - suffers from Bruce Willis Disease (aphasia and frontotemporal dementia) Leonard Peltier (81), Activist - Failing health in prison, multiple bouts of Covid; his death would be big news in the US William Daniels (98) - Actor (Boy Meets World) and voice actor (KITT from “Night Rider”), Old and starting to really struggle with speaking and memory

apparently he and his brother were struck and killed by a drunk driver while they were biking. they were both in Salem County to be groomsmen for their sister Katie's wedding, which would have been held 4 hours from now. i can't even imagine what their family is going through

i assume the next hit will be someone i've never heard of, so I went with Desmond Morris

did she go out with a bang? in all seriousness, she was a treasure rest easy, Ruth!

Hiroyuki Omori, the executive producer for the anime Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, passed away yesterday (no cause or age given)

longtime NHL referee Wally Harris dies at 88 my father says he ”used to refer to him as inspector clouseau” photo from article:

i take it the rope she used must have been made from natural fibres

Roberta Flack yet again.

Bob Newhart for no reason

Linda Nolan put up a billboard in my neighbourhood announcing that she doesnt have much time left; so naturally i selected Roberta Flack

early reports of the death of former NHLer Connie “Mad Dog” Madigan. his death so far only being reported by his ‘Slap Shot’ movie co-star steve carlson Madigan was notable for being the oldest rookie in NHL history, making his debut at age 38.

you may want to check that, unless this is a different Robert Blake from the actor who died last year (in which case, just ignore me)

looks like one of your subs is coming off the bench too, eh?

there’s been a death after Dec 27 for the last 3 years, so I’ll go with Ethel Kennedy
