The 74 Club.
Just saw this thumbnail above a link to some of Heaney's poetry readings on RTÉ.ie:
He didn't make a late-life conversion to a certain order, did he?!
Derek Jacobs, DJ and of Juke Box Jury and Top of the Tops fame. The 1970s icons are disappearing fast ok. Hey, I am one of those as well (apart from the icon bit).
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
Most disappearing into sex offenders' wings.
Thought someone would have posted up the news of Tommy (Gunn) Morrison's death. Ended up a sad kind of story despite all his promise. Remember watching some of his early fights on eurosport and then his destruction by Ray Mercer (the still photos of his last moments were horrific). Probably most famous for being the git in Rocky V, but a genuinely good fighter, decent chin, but the hype took over early. RIP.
A few days old now but boxer (and also film actor) Ken Norton who fought Mohammad Ali

Tom Clancy passed away. Was shocked to read he was only 66. for some reason I took him to be much older. While some of his politics were teeth suckingly scary, he created one of the real heroes of our time, Jack Ryan. And his book, Red Storm Rising, felt so realistic back in 1996 that it almost felt like it was happening with each page turned.
Phil Chevron, sadly missed. http://www.independent.ie/entertainm...-29643966.html
All you zombies tweet tweet tweet.
A huge loss... sadly departed (faithfully).
Found out a couple of odd ones today. Last week Chopper Read died aged 58. He was an Aussie hardman crim, wrote books and I think the biopic about him was called, Chopper. Saw an interview with him in 2007 (I think) on BBC and still don't know whether he was scary or just an idiot.
I think many people saw that Erich Priebke, the Nazi war criminal, did aged 100. He was part of the 10 for 1 massacre in Italy at Fosse Ardeatine and lived for 50years in Argentina. If anyone has seen "The Masacre in Rome" they'll realise just how shocking the event was. 5 of the more than 300 who died were part of the underground network being run by Msgr. Hugh O'Flaherty.
Bruno Metsu, French coach who beat France (then defending champions) 2-0 while in charge of Senegal in the opening match of the 2002 World Cup.

Marcia Wallace, better known as the voice of Edna Krabappel from The Simpsons died on Friday past.
For once maybe someone will call me "sir" without adding "you're making a scene."
Oh crap.
I've been calling her Krandle.
RIP Marcia.

Paul Walker off of Fast n' the Furious Fame died in a car crash there last night. Brace yourselves for a day of dodgy jokes and puns on social media.
