Elliot Roberts, music manager and record executive who helped jumpstart the careers of singer-songwriters such as Joni Mitchell and Neil Young, dead at 76 according to this article...https://celebrityaccess.com/2019/06/21/legendary-manager-elliot-roberts-reported-to-have-died/

Wiki page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliot_Roberts

 

 

Total legend amongst managers for his ability to allow his clients their creative freedom - wondering about our List of the Lost radio show and this; maybe if we play something from one of Neil's most off-the-wall works and make the point it was only possible because Elliott Roberts managed him to success in spite of commercial trends meaning creative freedom was non-negotiable in his contracts.

He always looked like he was 79 even when he wasn't 79.

6 weeks later .... Texas Rodeo cowboy Waymon Fountain succombs to prostate cancer that had tied him up in under 8 seconds.  He was DL CupTastic, but no one had him on their team.
SC

Here was the announcement 6 weeks ago:
--------------
Dear friends & family, 
I would ask you all to stand in prayer with our family for our Bpop - Waymon Fountain. For those who are unaware, he has been battling inoperable prostate cancer for 5 years this June. When found, it had already spread to several parts of his body. However, he has amazed the doctors up to this point!

He is home and in good spirits, but as of today, hospice is now apart of his daily routine. We are praying and believing for a miracle. God is still God! Please stand in prayer with us.

I asked him tonight if he wanted people to know about what he is going through, and if he would like visitors. He said yes. 
He loves his friends and family. Now or as soon as you can, would be a good time to go see him.

Somebody (who later got a QO himself) said that to me about my mum when she died.  I quite liked it, much more than "passed".

Just found out that someone I used to sit next to at Yorkshire Television (well, Wellbeing actually), Karen Petch - who was also a continuity announcer, and news reader, died on Friday of breast cancer. I'm shocked and genuinely saddened by such sad news. She was lovely and very funny, especially when talking about her fallen arches. RIP.

Sadly he was being allowed in various DPs.   I'm glad AF he died before he was allowed in July entries here and there.
He was a police officer.  Police officers are no one special.  His testifying to Congress didn't transform him in any goddamn way into a celebrity.  Otherwise the argument would be that EVERYONE who testifies to Congress is a celeb....like some teacher whining about class size or Common Core.  She's still a teacher, period.  And he was still an officer of the law, nothing more.  He was famous for dying imho.  So good riddance and fuck all y'all.  You deserved nothing to begin with ya cheating cuntos

The man who commanded the frigate HMS Plymouth during the Falklands War, has died aged 86.

Captain David Pentreath RN CBE, DSO, died peacefully on June 26, reports The Times. As well as serving his country with bravery and distinction, Captain  Pentreath was a devoted husband, proud father and loving grandfather. 

His two-year command of the warship was nearing its end when war broke out - but the role he and the Type 12 Royal Navy Frigate role in the Falklands War will never be forgotten.

The warship had a colourful career, but she signed her name into the history books when she hosted the Argentine surrender in her wardroom, on June 14, 1982.

Not sure where this goes, as the word 'hydroplane' has never been posted in the history of DL.

Until now.  And on Canada Day!

 

A hydroplane racer from Quebec is dead after a crash on the St. Lawrence river in eastern Ontario.

The Hydroplane Racing League says Mathieu Daoust from Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, Que., died Sunday during a qualifying event in Brockville.  Daoust was an experienced driver who had participated since 2011.

According to a biography on the league's site, Daoust described moving up to the Grand Prix level as his "best moment" in the sport of hydroplane racing, where vehicles reach speeds of up to 225 km/h.

He was ranked first in league for the 2019 season, with 194 points.

It's the way he'd have wanted it, right?

Unless I am very much mistaken I am the forum user who recommended John McCririck to the death list last year after I detected he  was on his last legs.
