typical..they either linger on for ages or sneak under the radar like that .Oh well that's 19 hits for the year if you include all the current and former names on deathlist.Could be a record

RIP Ravi Shankar.

Another nailed on list names dies. That's 4 gone in the last week or so.

But you can't count anything as 19. Don't work like that.

 

I think he's saying that the amount of DL names that have died this year is 19.

 

The 12 this year, plus Geoffrey Hughes, Ernest Borgnine, Dom Mintoff, Ravi Shankar, Gore Vidal, Sir Patrick Moore, & somebody who I'm forgetting.

Larry Hagman.

 

2012's sum of hits and misses[1] stands at 19, a tie for first place with 2003 and 2006.

 

[1]Miss defined as: a person who dies in a calendar year, who's not a pick on that year's list, but was before[2].

[2]Or, in the cases of Bette Davis and Arthur Marshall, after.

 

regards,

Hein

He, and Wilfred Bramble, don't fit, as both died before the inaugural DeathList.

Let's see:

  • died in 2012: check
  • was not on the 2012 list: check
  • was on the list before: check

Therefore a 2012 miss, according to the above definition.

 

I think you read "before" as "the year before", but the definition doesn't say that.

I couldn't find another thread for sitar players, so Ravi's will have to do.

 

Mick Taylor, not the ex-Rolling Stone, but the classical sitar player, is suffering from incurable multiple myeloma. He may be better known in India than he is the UK and is considered to be the best non Indian practitioner of the instrument. I'm not sure if that would translate to a UK obit, but you never know.
