    Sean Connery

    Connery was at least well enough to pay tribute to Roger Moore: http://www.express.co.uk/entertainment/films/808843/Sir-Roger-Moore-dead-James-Bond-films-tributes-Sean-Connery-Pierce-Brosnan-Daniel-Craig Still, I think the comittee will include him next year, like they included Mr. Prowse after Carrie Fisher's death. They won't want to miss the next dead Bond.

    Didn't Wake Up This Morning...

    Charles Bradley makes comeback after cancer treatment: http://liveforlivemusic.com/news/charles-bradley-returns/ As I said, coincidentally I knew his treatment was going well. And I KNEW, Spade and DI would pick him. In hindsight, I should have gone with an extremely conventional DDP main team that would have included Hewlett, and Skellern (whose cancer I even mentioned first on the forum!). I would have had a clear one pick advantage.... Ah well... (Edit: I know that Bradley is more soul than blues, but I think there's no real soul music thread...)

    Death In The Family

    Cruel whenever someone doesn't even get a chance.

    Stefan Karl Stefansson

    So I guess my main team still has a 20/20 chance - but at some point, they actually have to start dying! I think I have at least 6 people "on the clock" as of now (Edit: Though actually, Daisy Berkowitz is probably ok for now, so it's 19/20 at most, realistically.)

    James Bond 007 (Connery/Moore/Villains etc)

    A shame. Juvenile me liked him more than Connery. I' m still not sure who was better. They were just different. He was in good shape until very recently. The cancer must have struck quickly.

    The Dead Of 2017

    He was fat and under legal stress. Plus, since he was ousted from Fox News, he had nothing to fight (and live) for. He wasn't the worst punt one could have made. With Ailes, another disciple of Nixon is gone.

    Val Kilmer on the role of prayer in his healing: http://people.com/movies/val-kilmer-talks-power-of-prayer-cancer/ Sounds like the spiritual healing of Leah Bracknell. Apparently, there was a Reddit q&a.

Is this more or less than the coverage of Joey Feek? Anyway, there are three topics all together in this story, the cancer battle, the Logie win, and the friend who disappeared. But they're all intertwined. Now we go back to our regular programming...

    Lately, so many sportsmen are diagnosed with testicular cancer, I wonder if there's a new drug around that they're all taking.

    Donald J Trump

    Trump is done, may take a month or two, but it's over. Worst president ever, without doubt. Sadly, Mike Pence will be slightly more effective. It would be better if a deeply damaged Trump went into the next two elections.
