Post here for anyone that has died or for an anniversary of a singer, songwriter, actor, author, sports player, etc. You could also say what you appreciated about them.

Keep it nice, keep it neat, keep it clean.

That work?

I'll start with John Spinks, one of the original founding members of the Outfield.

Oh, I would've done it, Carl, but thanks.

The most recent death I read about was Tommy Ramone, who was the last living original member of the Punk band the Ramones.

CarlJ | 12-07-2014 19:17

NP...I volunteer for Findagrave.com...so this was a natural for me.

Captain_Keeta | 12-07-2014 21:35

Tommy Ramone.

CarlJ | 12-07-2014 21:38

yep, we got him Jeff. and i should have put in there that you can put in a remberance or something you really enjoyed about the artist. I got to see the Outfield at Sandstone Ampitheater back in the day and they were awsome. His guitar licks were great.

Captain_Keeta | 12-07-2014 21:39

This is a fun thread.

Joeyy | 13-07-2014 13:10

Carl, do you mind if I edit your original post a bit? When I suggested the thread, I was thinking it could be for any celebrity really, including authors, actors, etc. Saves us having several or having to only post about the others in Randomness.

I can also add what you mentioned here (about saying what you enjoyed about them).

Cheater138 | 13-07-2014 13:19

I think that would be a good idea, Joey. I'd be more likely to comment about actors than music artists, I think. And adding the part about saying something nice is a good idea to put up there.

Heard on the 6 O'Clock News that Nadine Gordimer, a South African author who wrote mainly about the terrible consequences of apartheid and exile, has died aged 90. She won a Booker Prize in the 70's and the Nobel Prize for literature in the early 90's, and was first published at only fifteen-years-old. Very intelligent woman.

I'd like to thank one of my music teachers, Mr. Millet-Barbé, because we had to learn this song, Il Est Libre Max.

Joeyy | 16-07-2014 16:47

That's nice of you, Celine. Has he died, though? This thread is to remember people who have recently died. That's what "In Memoriam" means ("into memory"). It's used in obituaries, which are notices of death.

CarlJ | 18-07-2014 11:42

that's fine joeyy....sorry didn't get back to you sooner. was out of town and just now back to work

Olivia_Ka | 18-07-2014 11:45

Joey : no, not my music teacher (he's alive and well thanks!), but check out the "news" section.

I was thanking my former music teacher only for... A song!

No worries - done.

CarlJ | 18-07-2014 12:46

Johnny Winter......just heard about him Legendary blues guitarist and brother of Edgar Winter.

kalsonberry | 18-07-2014 15:53

The victims of the most recent plane crash. All they were doing was flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur...

Captain_Keeta | 18-07-2014 15:54

I agree with Kaleb.

CarlJ | 20-07-2014 11:54

James Garner...actor.....one of the greats, died Saturday nite at 86. Was Bret Maverick on tv's Maverick and Jim Rockford in The Rockford Files. Movies such as The Notebook, Space Cowboys, Maverick, Tank, Grand Prix and the Great Escape just to name a few.

Olivia_Ka | 23-07-2014 18:45

July 23, 2011
Amy Winehouse died at 27. The Englishwoman's second album Back To Black sold more than 11.2 million copies.

James Shigeta....Japanese American actor....will be remembered for his work in Flower Drum Song, Die Hard (Mr. Takagi) and the voice of General Li in Mulan. Died Monday at age 85

Joeyy | 31-07-2014 17:59

Thanks, Carl. I love 'Mulan'.

Probably not a name known to Americans: Kenny Ireland (68) has died after a battle with cancer. He was in a show I watch with my Dad; gave us a fair few chuckles over the years.

* offtopic :
Despite his last name, he was Scottish.

goretski | 31-07-2014 19:29

Justin Bieber (I wish)

CarlJ | 01-08-2014 03:02

Welcome Joeyy...i used to watch Mulan daily at whichever Hollywood Video I was running. And Die Hard and I go WAAYYY back. but that's another story

Captain_Keeta | 01-08-2014 03:47

Lol Tony!

Cheater138 | 03-08-2014 00:51

Michael Johns. Only 35 years old.

I remember watching him on American Idol, the season that David Cook won. He was good, was eliminated sooner than he should have been.

Joeyy | 03-08-2014 01:36

A blood clot in his ankle? Wow. Yes, so young. How sad. :[
