Deathray 2,940 Posted April 2, 2020 8 hours ago, Vinegar Tits said: She's cult/obscure for sure not definitely not a nobody. And as you obviously didn't listen to the Annie Nightingale Request Show back in the day, or you'd know who Cristina was, your opinion is worthless. I wonder if she was saying "is that all there is" as she was breathing her last? I can only ever remember Annie Nightingale being on at 2am in the morning to be frank. And Dan P Carter was the only petson I'd stay up that late for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would have been a contributory factor but his heart failure would have been significantly more of one. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BCAlum2000 42 Posted April 2, 2020 14 hours ago, the_engineer said: Who is the most famous to die so far do you reckon? From an American millennial (under 40 crowd) standpoint, the biggest name to have succumb to COVID-19 is probably Adam Schlesinger, lead singer of the band Fountains of Wayne, best known for their song Stacey's Mom. That song was probably the most well known song of the early to mid 2000s. I would also add Joe Diffie among the middle aged Generation Xers. He was one of the biggest country singers in America of the 1990s and 2000s. To me, I would say the biggest names are Dr. James T. Goodrich, a well-respected neurosurgeon, and Terrence McNally, a beloved playwright whose best works include Kiss of the Spider Woman and Ragtime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Depends, His heart failure probably would have been fatal sooner rather than later but it might not have killed him for weeks or months without the virus 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
