Cowboy Ronnie 78 Posted November 4, 2011 (edited) Woah, fancy new look for the DL. Impressive. Cory Smoot, guitarist of death thrash band GWAR (not sure if I'd heard of them), pulled the old rock 'n' roll classic "die on the tour bus of unknown causes, but we can be pretty sure it was drug and/or alcohol related". http://music.uk.msn....of-cory-smoot-8 Apologies if this was posted elsewhere, still trying to find my way around the site. Edit to add....and there it is, in the pop stars thread, posted yesterday by Space Cooley. Oh well. Edited November 4, 2011 by Cowboy Ronnie d'oh!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,646 Posted November 4, 2011 On no, can't say I know GWAR that well but I LOVE their Scumdogs of the Universe album. May give it a blast in the car when I nip out in a few minutes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Bibliogryphon Posted November 13, 2011 On a long flight I was reading the Obituries in the Independent and found one that I had not seen on this site that of Sir Timothy Raison who was a Tory minister but more significantly was, during his career as a journalist, one of the founders of New Scientist. Apparently Margaret Thatcher didn't like him because he spoke his mind when he worked for her as Education Secretary, so he never rose into her cabinet. His Obit was written by veteren Labour politician Tam Dalyell - who must also be a consideration for future lists. Apologies if I have missed this elsewhere - this is my first post.

Spade_Cooley 9,525 Posted November 13, 2011 Evelyn Lauder, the American socialite who both founded the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and the pink ribbon of breast cancer awareness, has died at 75. I'm going to need an irony expert to tell me if her dying of ovarian cancer is, in fact, ironic or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,525 Posted November 21, 2011 Head of the Mark McCormack-founded IMG sports management company, Ted Forstmann, has brain cancer. Obit potential: questionable, to say the least. But we do what we can. No need to worry about his obit potential now: dead of brain cancer at 71. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magere Hein 1,400 Posted November 24, 2011 It just came to my attention that American biologist Lynn Margulis died last Tuesday aged 73. She also was the first wife of Carl Sagan. Her views in biology range from the now widely accepted to the outrageous, but she's been right too often to dismiss them lightly. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
