The Dead - 2007

[Twelvetrees 10]

Mexican trumpeter Jose Luis Aquino has been found murdered.

He is believed to be the 3rd Mexican musician to be killed within the space of a week.

 

Why they couldn't do something productive and kill of Pete Doherty and Amy Winehouse is beyond me

 

Aren't they doing a good enough job by themselves, anyway?

German composer Karlheinz Stockhausen is now decomposing at the age of 79

 

That just leaves Dylan, Dion, Shirley Temple, Tony Curtis and Bobby Breen. Oh, and any two Beatles.

German composer Karlheinz Stockhausen is now decomposing at the age of 79

 

You know, I thought about him the other night as a possible for DDP 2008..

 

One of the most influential musicians of the late 20th Century...

Didn't pass by earlier to mention it 'cos I thought somebody else would notice, but poker legend Chip Reese has died. He probably won more money at cards than anybody else in history.

[Octopus of Odstock 1,859]

Rafael Sperafico, Brazilian racing driver has been killed in one of 2007's last races - the Sao Paulo GP Touring Car race. Sperafico was one of four lads from the same family (cousins) that raced - Alexandre was in CART & Rodrigo & Ricardo in F3000.

I well remember Rafael as an up & coming driver in F3, so this is a terrible shame.

[Alphonsin 1]

Blues guitarist Jerry Ricks has died.

 

Woah, I woke up this morning... and found I was dead.

Yeeeah, I woke up this morning... and found I was dead.

And you know it really isn't such a good thi-i-i-i-ing...

To wake up one morning... and find that you're dead.

[Banshees Scream 107]

Poet, writer and suspected multiple killer, Jose Luis Calva, 38, has committed suicide in his prison cell. He never got to finish his magnum opus; "Cannibal Instincts"

[Phantom 2,469]

I couldn't find any mention in earlier posts, but former Tottenham and Southampton goalkeeper John Hollowbread has died at the age of 73

[maryportfuncity 10,017]

Bad month for the musically inclined. Christie Hennessy; Irish singer with triple platinum disc to his credit. I think the cremation is on December 17, 18 and 19th.

Please yerselves...

[M.Lawrenson 11]

Even if only half the rumours about Ike Turner are true, I find it hard to be sorry about his death. Though I do find it funny with the news sources talking about his part in the famed mid-60s Ike & Tina hits produced by Phil Spector ('River Deep, Mountain High' etc.). Apparently, Phil made sure Ike was paid not to play on the records.

[Anubis the Jackal 76]

Ah, pity poor old dead Ike. One of the genuine originals, played on the first recognised rock and roll singles, a huge star for 3 decades, still playing well up until a couple of years ago, and all he'll be remembered for is the "Sing, or I'll hit you again Bitch!" persona and ridiculous hair from the Tina Turner biopic.

 

And he never did anything as rank as 'Simply the Best'

 

 

Enjoy!

[Cowboy Ronnie 77]

According to Wiki:

 

However, in his 2001 autobiography Ike admitted, "Sure, I've slapped Tina... There have been times when I punched her to the ground without thinking. But I never beat her."

 

Well, as long as he never beat her.

He also fired Jimi Hendrix from his tour band back in '65. shortly afterwards, Hendrix went to play guitar for Curtis Knight.

Considering she based a whole career on living off these unproven allegations, plus a handful of really teeth-grindingly annoying songs, some might say that's the least she deserved.

Valda Aveling the thinking person's answer to Mrs Mills, or summat. Didn't realise she was still alive until I read the obit, when obviously she wasn't still alive, but....you know what I mean. If only she'd been motivated to COME OUT a little when she was alive, we might have been able to keep track of her for deadpooling purposes.

Jim Langley, former Fulham, Leeds & England player, has died, at the age of 79.

 

He was also an unique pick on the DDP for some loser.
