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?

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 ......

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

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?

are you kidding?

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

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

Me when I had my motorcycle accident in 2005

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

Now you're with me

Elvis.

Stojko?

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.

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