2021 Death Thread

[Tjodalv]

We had one of these a while ago, but due to obvious considerations I think some lives that have ended recently have been overlooked. Just to start off 2021:

• Christopher Plummer, today...
• Hank Aaron
• Hal Valentine
• Cloris Leachman
• Joanne Rogers
• Michael Fonfara
• Alexi Laiho

I have great memories of all of these people for various reasons. It's going to be another rough year for most of us, and I wish you all well.

We have one going in another thread, but I think only two or three people have made a list of 5.

I literally got death threats for picking Willie Nelson. This is a dangerous game. I don't know if anyone got one right.

As well just say “my neighbor“.

It has to be someone we can reasonably be expected to know.

It’s funny when you’re picking and they don’t seem so obvious but when somebody dies you wonder how could they not have been on my list ?

like Leon Spinks and Larry Flynt. They seem like slam dunks after the fact.

That was a typo. Hilton "Hil" Valentine (guitarist, The Animals).

Probably because it was a stupid choice? Willie may outlive us all...
