David S. Ware

Is he/has he been ill recently?

yeah, i think he needed a kidney transplant

Wow, didn't know that. Just looked it up, and apparently he got a kidney and came through ok: http://njmonthly.com/articles/lifestyle/a-gift-of-life-and-music.html

(sorry, didn't mean to mess up your dead pool; was just surprised to see his name on the list, as I didn't know he'd been sick)

He's been a couple years post-transplant -- makes him (sadly) a cancer risk.

Jimmy the etc - Liz Dawn ISN'T DEAD? Good choice.

I picked her first!

Ailsa, sorry. whatever you say- though with Liz Dawn, hmm, I kinda remembered she died weeks after Vera died. Strange.

Nah, is ok, just noticed jimmy's list was quite similar to mine :)

I wasn't expecting her to last long when she left, but she's still hanging on in there - she came back briefly last year when Jack was written out.

pretty easy to cheat at that tho

yeah if it weren't for that though!

jaymc, could you please revise my list? I would like to substitute Kanye West for Marie Fredriksson. Thanks!

Gah, I forgot Geoffrey Hughes, despite picking him the last couple of times. And also Etta James, despite reading the news. Ah well.

Well, you have until the 9th to make corrections.

The prosecution in Egypt just demanded the death penalty for Mubarak...

so is it cheating if i put him in? aw screw it that isnt any fun.

Yeah, I haven't even started inputting lists yet (that'll wait until the weekend), so feel free to make any corrections.

I'd like to put in for Mubarak and will get back to you abt the others later

Just to prove my originality, 15 thus far unmentioned picks:

And one last prediction: Pete Townshend will live to be 100.

That's him screwed then!

crumb will outlive us all

I actually thought Jack Welch was already dead, but I was confusing him with Don Geiss.

if i could, i would like to replace "peter fonda" with "dan treacy"
but if i can't it's ok

Yes you can.

I didn't realize Joe Paterno had lung cancer until just now. I assumed everyone was nominating him because they thought he was on suicide watch.

I hope Dan Treacy (or anyone else, really) doesn't die :(

Naw, I don't want to piggyback like that. I'll add Ralphie next year if he makes it.
