The 2024 Dead Pool (Our 17th Annual!)

GOAL: Predict which notable* figures will die on/between January 1 and December 31, 2024, Eastern Time.

Produce a maximum of 50 names, to be PM'ed to me (NOT posted here) before the ball drops in Times Square (NYC) at midnight on New Years (i.e., 12AM ET, January 1, 2024). The BB's default timestamp will determine entry time, but I often post after midnight so the west coast has a little extra time.

*It's assumed that all notable figures will have an entry, or be mentioned in an entry, at Google, Wikipedia or another legit source which you may have to prove.

Rules:

1) PLEASE alphabetize your list of 50 names by LAST name (regardless of profession), either in the form of FIRSTNAME LASTNAME -or- LASTNAME, FIRSTNAME, in *1* column of names.

2) If it's not obvious who the person is for most people, after the name please add why they're notable. For example: "Douglas Fraser, trade unionist" (Sorry, he's already dead). In addition, you may or may not choose to include the person's current age; for example: "Douglas Fraser, trade unionist (91)"

3) If you submit your list days before Midnight, January 1st, 2024, and someone on your list dies before 2024, you should substitute the person with another and resubmit your list (by the deadline). If you do not resubmit your list, and the person died in 2021, the person will obviously NOT count for 2024.

4) a) Thou Shalt Not Kill (anyone on your list); b) criminals subject to the Death Penalty or anyone kidnapped or held hostage in 2023 won't count -- unless they die of natural causes; c) "Dead" means permanently dead, not later revived, nor put in animated suspension, or any induced or natural coma starting before 2024 begins; d) do not edit Wikipedia with false death information.

Everyone's lists will be updated unofficially throughout the year, but year-end audits should be performed to determine the final winner sometime shortly after December 31, 2024. YOU are responsible for your own audit at years' end.

(The next post will contain all participants' lists for easy reference, sometime on Jan 1st)


Prize: Bragging Rights for 12 months.

Someone requested an extra day or two to submit their list. I have no problem with a list coming in a day or two late (Jan 1 or 2) as long as no one on that list has died before the list was submitted (they won't count, obviously)....

Since we're extending the deadline until Jan 2, I won't post the lists until then -- but they will be timestamped in my PM box. Please get them to me ASAP to be safe...!

Legendary running back and actor Orenthal James "O.J." Simpson passed away today from cancer. Accused, tried and acquitted for the homicide of his ex wife and a waiter friend of her's, 30 years ago. Personally, I believe OJ's son, Jason from his first marriage, was responsible for the murders and OJ helped to cover up what happened. Even appearing at the scene of the crime afterwards.

Sadly, the legendary Ramblin Man, guitarist Dickey Betts passed today. His dulcet tones and singing slide guitar kept me company on many a long trek up and down I95.

He made some cult classics. I know he helped many in Hollywood get some breaks, Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese, and James Cameron, maybe Ron Howard not sure on Howard, and actors Jack Nicholson, David Carradine, Tommy Lee Jones, Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper, Robert De Niro, Sandra Bullock, many others.

It's crazy to think that they died at 52 and 53, respectively

The beautiful, short-lived relationship between Janis Joplin and Kris Kristofferson

https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/janis-joplin-and-kris-kristofferson-relationship/

Kris Kristofferson first met Janis Joplin through their mutual friend and folk singer Bobby Neuwirth in the spring of 1970. At the suggestion of Neuwirth, after they played a show together in New York, Kristofferson accompanied him on a flight to Larkspur, California, to the home of Janis Joplin. What was intended to be a short trip ended up lasting several weeks, and whilst staying at her residence, Kristofferson and Joplin became increasingly drawn to each other.

Kristofferson recalled: “I dug her, but I had itchy feet. I’d get up intending to get out, and in she comes with the early morning drinks and pretty soon you’re wasted enough and you don’t care about leaving.” Soon, they “hit it off” and their romance bloomed. Sharing some innate understanding of each other being Texas natives, it was to be one of the most iconic yet short-lived relationships in all of rock. Sadly, it would only end after Joplin’s heroin overdose in October 1970.

Whilst together, Kristofferson had urged Joplin to record a version of ‘Me and Bobby McGee’, as she loved the track. Eventually, she did decide to release it on her upcoming record, Pearl, which, unfortunately, she wouldn’t even see released. Furthermore, Joplin’s version was recorded only days before her untimely death, making it unlistenable to many.

It is said that Kristofferson was unaware that Joplin had recorded the song, perhaps she was going to surprise him. He heard it the day after her passing, proving too much to bear, he broke down immediately, and to this day, he cannot listen to the song.

“Unfortunately, the first time I heard Janis’s recording of ‘Bobby McGee’ was when I had just gone down because she had died,” Kristofferson remembered. “But, I remember the producer, he asked me to come by his office the next day. He had something he wanted to play me. I didn’t even know she cut it. And, uh, he played it for me and I had to leave the room. It was impossibly hard to hear. So much love and emotion going into the song and knowing that she wasn’t there to enjoy that.”

He concluded: “I love it because of the passion and heart and soul that she put into everything she did. But, in that one, I can hear her saying, ‘Wait until this son of a b**** hears this. He’s gonna die.'”

My list needs quite a bit of updating:

Remove:
Ed Ames (he died in 2023)

Add:
Alex Hassilev (d. April 21)
James Earl Jones (d. September 9)
Steve Lawrence (d. March 7)
Malachy McCourt (d. March 11)
Bob Newhart (d. July 18)
Dr. Ruth Westheimer (d. July 12)

This should bring me up to date.
