ImNotHades 206 Posted March 11, 2016 so I was thinking...this year and a couple to follow will be big for history and we will see it happen, by that I mean 2 living 90+ US presidents who could die this year, Nancy is dead already so there are 2 more oldies and 3 younger first ladies, Muhammad Ali, Elizabeth 2, 2 popes, Kirk Douglas, Jerry Lewis who are one of the last big name Golden Age of Hollywood survivors and many more of that stuff....if they all die this year, it will be a big year to remember since 4-5 superstars died already.....what do you think?

Chuck Berry, Fats Domino and Jerry Lee Lewis to name a few well judging by first 2 and a half months (Bowie, Nancy...) of this year and last 5-6 back (Jackson, Houston, Winehouse....) this decade will be historic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scraggy Taters 289 Posted March 11, 2016 This is SO not the thread for talking about who MIGHT die. SC Indeed Sir Creep, anyone in the public eye can meet the Grim Reaper at any time. For example, we all know Paul Daniels is about to pop off, but who'd have thought prog-rocker Keith Emerson would go before him ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chiesa52 129 Posted March 12, 2016 This really seems to be a very bad year for Rock musicians, doesn't it!

RandomCanadian 105 Posted March 12, 2016 Good gravy! I've actually seen Emerson, Lake and & Palmer in concert with the wasband. It was a long time ago before we married I think. It is a tough year for him, first his idol Bowie and now 1/3 of one of his favourite bands. Morissey must be next. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RandomCanadian 105 Posted March 13, 2016 Alanis Morissette. Close but not quite. There was rain on my wedding day; and yes, good advice that I just didn't take. I met the man of my dreams, there was no beautiful wife but he did move back to Holland. All unfortunate but not really ironic. Thank you disillusionment...

Aye, and apologies for repeating a joke that'd gone down earlier; though - frankly - it's hard to keep tabs on everything that goes on when you drop in a few minutes at a time from work.
