Zsa Zsa's leg 880 Posted October 18, 2017 Eh. I thought he'd leave around October, I immediatley regretted excluding him from my Shadow List when I realized I forgot him. Anyways. Congratulations to the committee for breaking their record at an astonishingly early pace. I doubt a record set this fast could happen again, at least for a while.

Phantom 2,531 Posted October 18, 2017 I thought I had him on one of my lists. It seems i had him just on the deadpool we play amongst a group of friends. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m sorry, but Carrington is the last surviving major cabinet from Ted Heath’s time as prime minister, Jill Gascoine is an actress who is very well known in the UK, and King Michael is the last surviving world leaders in the interwar period and one of the last surviving leaders from WW2. Hm. All three of these plus Downie has an argument to be made of being notable... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,213 Posted October 20, 2017 Their trying to make a public memorial for Gord Downie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toast 16,081 Posted October 20, 2017 57 minutes ago, Joey Russ said: Their trying to make a public memorial for Gord Downie. "Gord Downie's family is hoping to organize a public event where fans can honour the late Tragically Hip singer. Downie's brother Mike says a "private family gathering" is being held today. He said a public memorial would have to be "something that Gord would like and appreciate, so we'll just have to figure that out." " I read that as something like a concert.

FixedBusiness 407 Posted February 6, 2018 Would've been 54 today. Also, to make this update worthy, Downie is among the Juno nominations for 2018. Downie, who passed away in October 2017, has made the list of nominees along with other hugely successful Canadian artists such as Arcade Fire, Ruth B and Daniel Caesar. I'd personally love to see Downie win because he was one of the most influential Canadian artists but if Daniel Caesar wins, I'd too be very happy. Don't like Ruth B or Arcade Fire's new stuff.
