Commtech Sio Bibble 2,026 Posted October 26, 2022 Was looking at some older US political folk and, in my opinion, Joe Lieberman looks quite bad for only just turning 80. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cropsy 42 Posted October 27, 2022 Former wwf champion and tag team champion The Iron Sheik is in her early 80's and due to his past of alcohol and heavy drugs abuse he could be a shout. He's funny as hell on Twitter. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's funny as hell on Twitter. Well, whoever actually runs his twitter. It sure as hell isn't him typing those up. I imagine he's actually in pretty poor health, at this point, so I agree he's one to watch. He was pissing himself and barely coherent well over a decade ago. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Caught Dickinson's Real Deal which my dad was watching and there's no doubting David isn't the force of personality he once was anymore. 81 years old, and feels very much like one of those who could drop very suddenly, or go downhill very quickly if he had to stop working. One to watch. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
openviews 329 Posted October 28, 2022 Mohamed Al-Fayed seems to be keeping a very low profile recently and is 94 in January so maybe one to be considered. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wildstorm 297 Posted October 30, 2022 i’m oblivious of the notability of canadian artists outside of canada, but I was gonna include Gordon Lightfoot as a unique pick on my list. turns 84 in a few weeks, has suffered from emphysema for years, and has a history of health problems; however, he’s still performing so it seems there may still be life in him yet 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Daredevil 1,189 Posted October 31, 2022 John Farnham could very well be positioned at no. 50 on the 2023 DL. After all, quite a few younger musicians have assumed the no. 50 spot in recent years (MacGowan, Johnny Clegg, Mark E Smith). 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

'If You Could Read my Mind' is a stone cold classic. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think its more the belief that if the Cmme were going to pick them they would have done, but then, for every name who falls into the cracks like that, I can think of names I thought had long past their DL sell by date who suddenly made their debuts - like Carl Reiner, Luise Rainer and David Rockefeller to name but three. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah the committee has its favourites but in the cases mentioned above and others :Schultz ,Bill Gates Sr to name another two were brought in just at the right time. As Glynis is in a care facility and has been for some time now I think she could well be someone the committee might chose as the did the others mentioned above in years gone by. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
