No doubt.  This made Pat Conroy’s ‘cancer battle’ look like we coulda put Conroy on the Immortals list.  However the fact it arsed up everyone’s lists other than mine is brilliant.

I picked him nowhere at all because the prognosis was meant to be great. Turns out, they were counting it in seconds...

I know.  Our thinking he was SAFE for 12 months makes us look highly intelligent (don’t tell anyone).

Dave Alcock, former drummer for Chixdiggit passed away yesterday. I have to admit, I'm not sure on his age or the circumstances regarding his death.

Dave Alcock obituary. He was 47. No indication as to cause of death, only that he died unexpectedly.

Crosspost: Jim Gordon dead at 77. As noted in this thread, he's a previous DDP pick, so one for the list of the missed.

I’m a big fan of Marlene Kuntz and I had the pleasure of interviewing Luca a few years ago, he was a person of rare kindness.

Various reports that Ralph Humphrey, drummer for The Mothers of Invention (1973-1974) has died after recently entering hospice care.

 

Has also worked on many TV shows such as The Simpsons, American Idol and Star Trek: Enterprise.

 

Can't find a proper reliable source though.
