Re: Celebrity Death List MMXXIV/The Death Thread 2024

I never did make it to Bluesfest & I don't think next year would be an option. The crowds at a Sheffield Shield match at the Gabba are a bit much for me (all 200 of them) so Bluefest is out of the question.

I didn’t make it in 2011. Still grieving that.

I’ve been every year since - well, every year it’s gone ahead. Two false starts thanks to COVID. Hence skully’s comment rightly acknowledging my disappointment re the decision. Like Splendour In The Mud, this festival’s demise is down to US-based re-insurers. It’s no longer economic to host a festival.

I might have got that one wrong

Phil Donahue also died, aged 88

He was the father of cringeworthy daytime talk shows that included raucous audience participation with guests that featured such classics as "which one of these 7 men is the father of my baby - we do DNA tests", "I accidentally became gay after I had sex with a tranny" and "I am Wanda Whitey Whitewoman - I gave birth to black twins but I swear I never had any affairs while my white husband was off fighting the commies" sort of themes.

I'm not sure a RIP is earned.

RIP to the World's oldest (recorded) woman, Spain’s Maria Branyas Morera, who was born in the US in 1907 and lived through two world wars, dying at the age of 117.

She even survived Covid in 2020. Clearly she was a tough old bird.

How have we never nommed her??

[Fred Nerk]

Congrats to Senora Morera on living through Moreras than practically all of us can hope or want to....
