I posted this in a facetious capacity -- all of these "so-and-so celebrity died today" posts (not knocking those; just being a jerk is all). The song its self is a tongue-in-cheek piece. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldcarfan27 Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 I almost replied "he's been dead for about 70 years!" But I didn't. 😎 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! I made that same observation myself awhile back, even suggested a separate section for all those obits that loaded up in here and got stepped on!

SfanGoch Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 (edited) Back when people read newspapers, checking the obituary notices was how you kept up on what your old friends had been up to lately. Edited June 1, 2022 by SfanGoch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 The reason for posting this had nothing to do with making fun of people with hearing issues. If anything, some of us were curious as to why other members felt the need to list the passing of every "celebrity" in the last hundred years. Also, look at the phrase I quoted when I posted it. It mentions someone being dead for 70 years. "Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead" ties into that and at one time was a popular bit for Chevy Chase on SNL. I posted this version because I couldn't find one where he's the only person featured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveracer Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Excellent. I just got back to the bench this week after summer haitus. I hit my "weekly mix" from iHeart radio. Within a half hour the 9 minute version of Bauhaus comes on. Had to stop all modelling and just crank it up. Been a few years since I heard this on one of my cassette tapes from college. Bauhaus and Peter Murphy were awesome. Halloween is coming soon but hey, "Every Day is Like Halloween". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
