Salmon Mousse 473 Posted January 15, 2021 5 minutes ago, Joey Russ said: Ah, just a little bit too early for my DDP team last year. Ah well. From what I can gather he seemed like a genuinely cool and great dude, and enjoyed the music from the New York Dolls as well. So this definitely stings a little bit. RIP to him. Either you just got off to an extremely hot start in the DSCDP funeral home or you're playing with only 19 picks this year, depending on the time zone in which he died.

Died on the 13th from what I can gather, so definitely dead zone, probably one man down too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Banana 859 Posted January 15, 2021 What kind of cancer was he even suffering from? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,227 Posted January 15, 2021 Well, we never got a clear idea of what type cancer he had. However, the reason I kept picking him in pools despite not knowing what his cancer was is basically that something felt really off for me with him. In 2019 there was a benefit concert for him, and that was the first I really considered him for pools. Indeed, I thought if he had really recovered they probably would’ve announced it on his gofundme, but that never happened. And that strong intuition just kept coming back to me, even keeping him up to my final 50 for the DDP despite being a risky pick on paper. I feel like I need to trust my intuition more when it comes up strongly. Obviously I was a year early in picking him in the DDP, and was really hoping that intuition was wrong. Sadly it was not meant to be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,689 Posted January 15, 2021 That just leaves old Poindexter of the original/classic line-up, always the likeliest outcome. Poor old Sylvain; we even have a niche thread perfect for him and he still doesn’t make it. But pop star is fair enough, even if he was a failed one. Mock rock, anyone?

Vinegar Tits 606 Posted January 24, 2021 Tom Stevens, bassist with the Long Ryders has died. No cause given other than "suddenly". Very sad news - the Long Ryders were a fantastic band, and one I've never quite managed to see live (in around 2002ish I was working not 500 yards from Leeds Irish Centre but couldn't sneak out to see them without being noticed, and their more recent London dates were stupidly priced so had to give 'em a swerve). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
