time 8,596 Posted April 1, 2015 If Alanis Morrissette died I would post it here Don't you think? Only if she died a non-ironic death. Maybe if she had one hand in her pocket and the other was hailing a taxicab and the cab hit her. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,645 Posted April 1, 2015 Speaking of singer-songwriters as we were. Joni Mitchell's low profile before today is partly down to reducing her voice to a rasp with decades of heavy smoking. So, there'll be a certain irony when she - like - croaks, right?

Toast 16,131 Posted April 1, 2015 Joni Mitchell's low profile before today is partly down to reducing her voice to a rasp with decades of heavy smoking. That's a shame, because I might have preferred that. I've always found her voice unpleasantly shrill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheBigBB 34 Posted April 1, 2015 I thought this guy's death was somewhat ironic: http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/disability-sport/31943533 Ashley Adams, who became a paraplegic from a motorbike accident as a young man, eventually died riding a quad bike. I mean you just don't expect that a guy who gets paralyzed in a biking accident would find a way to finish the deed in the same manner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
