Who should be dead?!
 

Just watched a BBC4 documentary about The Who and hubby and I were commenting on Keith Moon - tragic to die so young, but some people are meant to, particularly rock stars etc. Then we got into a discussion about people who, perhaps, should have died young. So, who should have died young, instead of becoming ridiculous?:blink:

For starters:

Top of my list:

Alex James (Blur)

Top of Hubby's list:

Morrissey
Paul Weller

All people who would have been remembered well if only they'd died young!

So, go on, who should be dead ......:D

Are we limited to Rock Stars? There are a few Soap Stars this could apply to.:D

Re: Who should be dead?!
 

And a politician or two.... Margaret Thatcher and Tony Blair spring immediately to mind.

and gorden brown.

Why? What's he done that's so bad then?

Re: Who should be dead?!
 

are you kidding?

Re: Who should be dead?!
 

Well, no. Not really. He may be a bland boring old fart, but compared to Maggie and Tony he's golden.

Re: Who should be dead?!
 

No, no no,....

This is not who would you like to be dead!

It's more about who's reputation would be so much greater if they'd died young?

e.g. would James Dean have been an icon if he'd lived to be 85 and done 70-odd crap films?

Politicians definitely not allowed :D

Me when I had my motorcycle accident in 2005

I've got one Brigitte Bardot former sex kitten now crazy old cat lady:eek:

Re: Who should be dead?!
 

Now you're with me :thumbsup:

Re: Who should be dead?!
 

Elvis.

Re: Who should be dead?!
 

Stojko?

Re: Who should be dead?!
 

Actually figure skaters age well. Pete Doherty should be dead by now, I would have put money on it. I wish Avril was dead to put me out of my misery.:thumbdown:

Re: Who should be dead?!
 

Look here Mrs DV, you're new. Just because you start a thread doesn't mean you can say what it's about. ;)

Re: Who should be dead?!
 

Hmmm ... Handbags at at dawn me thinks ........

Re: Who should be dead?!
 

Now, getting back to Maggie Thatcher.... she should be held personally responsible for <fill in the blank>. And then shot.

Re: Who should be dead?!
 

Well, there you are then. Shooting is too kind.

Re: Who should be dead?!
 

Ivana Trump. She had style before she needed ironing.
(Did you see the wedding to the intellectually challenged thirty five year old? Uggh...)

Priscilla Presley.
(Wrong one croaked out of that partnership).

Tony Blackburn.
(Anyone who can retain flesh-crawler status into their old age deserves to have met their maker years ago).

Burt Reynolds.
What has he done to his face this time?

Germaine Greer.
Shuffling off this mortal coil after the Female Eunuch would have been a good plan.

Re: Who should be dead?!
 

OK lets be controversial.

What would the UK be like NOW if Margaret Thatcher had been defeated by James Callaghan in the 1979 Election.


Come on then, who's up for it.......

Re: Who should be dead?!
 

Madonna, what an Icon if she had been assassinated about 10 to 15 years ago.

Re: Who should be dead?!
 

Jimmy Saville

Re: Who should be dead?!
 

Noel Gallagher, if he had died right after what's the story he'd be thought of in the same way as John Lennon.

Re: Who should be dead?!
 

Gary Glitter

Re: Who should be dead?!
 

So many good suggestions, Noel and Morissey esp.

Simon Cowell - A world with even one fewer short-lived manufactured boybands/one-hit-wonders is only a better one. Botox has done him no favours either.

A guy I worked with when I was 18 convinced me of Maggie's merits and the benefits we saw afterwards. Yet to decide if he was right or I was just young and impressionable.

Re: Who should be dead?!
 

Oooh, I am! For starters, there'd still be some respect for the working class in the UK. The poor buggers who died (on both sides) in the Falklands war, would still be alive (maybe). Tony Blair would never have happened. I would possibly consider one day returning to England. Just conceivably, the UK would have embraced membership in the EU instead of becoming a pariah. Ronald Ray-gun would have been as isolated as he deserved. There might have been no stupid reliance on individualism. Social concepts might still be something that people think about. Property values might not define whether or not you have "succeeded". Lastly but not leastly, Grantham would never have been heard of.

I always thought he was yob with a big ego mediocre musical talent, even in 1995.

Re: Who should be dead?!
 

Bobby Gillespie, the rest of the manic street preachers and cliff Richard, shortly after the release of his first single...

Re: Who should be dead?!
 

Ozzy Osbourne

Re: Who should be dead?!
 

maybe, but he helped change the direction of the music scene and opened the door for a stream of new and probably more talented bands who otherwise would never have existed.

Re: Who should be dead?!
 

Phil Collins should have had the decency to fall off his perch the moment Peter Gabriel left Genesis, and spared us from all his later nonsense.

Also David Bowie should have had the good sense to accidentally overdose immediately after the Berlin period.:D

Re: Who should be dead?!
 

wako jacko....who would really miss him...

Re: Who should be dead?!
 

Tom Baker . . . he would have made Dr. Who a household word. Ooops - I forgot it is!

Re: Who should be dead?!
 

Tom Cruise

Re: Who should be dead?!
 

Bruce Springsteen....just for being called Bruce:rofl:

Re: Who should be dead?!
 

Mrs DV I think I have the jist of what you are after.....

Tony Curtis

Elizabeth Taylor

MicK Jagger

Paul McCartney.....................:p

Re: Who should be dead?!
 

Anyone put there x yet ? ;)

Re: Who should be dead?!
 

But then we would have missed out on Mull of Kintyre and the Frog Chorus :rofl: Since you mention a Paul, I've just heard Paul Weller on the radio, he should definitley gone with The Jam.

And Sting - that would make the world a better place!:D
