    Authors Last A Long Time, But....

    Victoria "Vicky" Holmes has cancer. She's part of the "Erin Hunter" collective, basically the founder of that group: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_Holmes Go to facebook to find out more (but there's only her own statement there).

    Little Richard

    Interview with Little Richard on a Christian Network: http://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/entertainment/2017/october/little-richard-rejects-homosexuality-i-want-to-be-holy-like-jesus Sounds appropriately old, but there is still gas in the tank, I would say.

    Been To Any Good Gigs Lately?

    I saw Annie Clark aka St. Vincent aka the former girlfriend of Cara Delevigne two days ago. It was ok. She came alone, without the band. While you go to her concerts to see her shred you to pieces with her guitar, and we got that, it was just slightly underwhelming.

    True! Maybe she's a regular around here...maybe she is you?

    Desmond Tutu

    Hmm.. Maybe the lingering prostate cancer and the treatment occasionally saps his energy. But yes, at the moment, he seems fine.

    It seems it hasn't been posted yet that Eva Echevarria, aka "Johnson & Johnson baby powder gave me cancer and I got 323 million pounds in compensation" has died by now: http://metro.co.uk/2017/10/21/323m-compensation-to-woman-who-died-of-cancer-due-to-johnson-johnson-talc-rejected-7016518/ She never got to enjoy her millions.

    The Dead Of 2017

    Oh, his wife is going to write something somewhere. She is an author and got covered by almost every QO yielding outift this year. Edit: Weird deadpooling connection part 1345. The Times article about her mentions her solace in open-water swimming: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/swim-author-takes-plunge-into-film-q2wtwpwdk I wonder if she ever met Monte Monfore.

    The Dead Of 2017

    Open water world record-holder and swimmer for humanitarian causes Monte Monfore dead from head injury in the water: https://swimswam.com/open-water-world-record-holder-monte-monfore-passes-away-56/ I have to check out this page "swimswam" some more. I first noticed it when some Australian olympic swimmer died a couple of weeks ago. I mean, there is a reason they also have the "swam" in the title. The previous article told of some 13-year-old swimmer having died of a heart attack: https://swimswam.com/brazilian-age-group-swimmer-suffers-heart-attack-practice/

I don't know... If this is his wikipedia page, it still has him alive: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Vincent_Brennan

    The Dead Of 2017

    Irish filmmaker Simon Fitzmaurice dies of ALS at 43: https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/film/simon-fitzmaurice-inherently-stubborn-film-maker-and-family-man-1.3271252 Was currently a sub for the 2018 B-Team. I wondered if he gets a QO. He made a couple of well-regarded films and a documentary of his own health struggle.

    Nelson Mandela

    Winnie Mandela was recently hospitalized, but it was harmless. I like the "related articles" section of this page though. Two spine ops, two hospitalizations for pneunomia. And now knee surgery. https://www.iol.co.za/news/south-africa/gauteng/winnie-madikizela-mandela-out-of-hospital-11744959
