Mic and Keith. Clint (over 90, I know, and love him but), and Frederick Forsyth. Gervais for the wild card

Maybe for the over 90's we can have a cheering section.

Like Mel Brooks. Keep Livin' Mel. Don't die.

When I was a kid and The Electric Company started I remember my parents watched it with me because they could not believe a big star like Moreno would be on PBS kids program. I didnt see what the big deal was since that was my first exposure to her.

To be honest I never heard of Chita until her death was announced.

Toby Keith. He had been battling stomach cancer for awhile.

Seeks for the win!

I heard the name before and I knew he was a Country singer but that's about it.

This guy did so much and influenced so many. And he is one of those who I am amazed lived this long.

I had no idea that Toby Keith was the one who said "None of that Lefty Shit out there tonight OK Kris" in which case Kris Kristofferson promptly handed his ass to him.

Then I think he said something akin to "that guy did for Country Music like Panty hose did for finger-fucking"

Remember when people would claim that the invasion of Iraq was actually good and expect to be taken seriously?

Damo Suzuki, who headed the band CAN, argueably the founders of Krautrock.

Their drummer Jaki, one of the best drummers of all time passed away a few years ago also.

Funny that noone picked Alexei Navalny. In retrospect a bit of a no brainer.

Actually anyone opposing Putin would be too easy a call.
