Spade_Cooley 9,513 Posted December 16, 2022 As stated elsewhere, Quentin Blake turns 90 today.... does he feel DeathList-y? Maybe not, but he definitely feels "worthy of their own thread in about 12 months or so". 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm hoping Yoko Ono, Michael Caine, Quincy Jones, Carol Burnett, and Willie Nelson all turn 90 as well as still be alive for several more years since they are living legends. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not everyone makes it to 90 or is beyond 90, though. Your list made me remember that. 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Doctor 88 Posted December 17, 2022 As an Italian, I hope next year to see two Italians on the DL 2023: former president Giorgio Napolitano and Gianluca Vialli (even if I hope that Gianluca will recover from his cancer). And Berlusconi must be dropped from the DL 2023: he is still in good shape. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
