Golfingboy Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Pele’s achievements were all before my time, and football is not our biggest sport here. That being said, it’s obvious he was the greatest ever at his sport, and influenced not only the sport, but possibly billions of people to play A truly sad day…..RIP 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westwood was controversial, as was the whole punk period, and damned good fun it was too, but they never sexualised young girls like the Spice Girls did! RIP Vivienne.

Agree it seems the 80's are more common. In my mind I figure I'll be on borrowed time after about 84. Just hope my quality of life remains good as I hit those last years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering my mum died at 54, my current age, her mum 52, and my dad in his early 60’s, and considering I spent close to 40 years addicted to drugs and/or alcohol, I don’t have a high life expectancy.Surprised I never got killed in a bike crash the way I ride. In fact I never expected to live to 40. So everyday I wake up it’s a bonus. 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not always agree with his ideas, but I admire him for his guts to abdicate when it was time, the first pope to do so in over 600 years. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forcebwithu Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 New year, new roll call of those who have passed this year. RIP Anita Pointer of The Pointer Sisters dies at age 74 Anita Pointer, one of the founding members of the R&B group The Pointer Sisters, has died at age 74, according to her publicist Roger Neal. Pointer passed away Saturday at her home in Los Angeles where she was surrounded by her family, Neal said in a statement to CNN. The cause of death was cancer, he said. “While we are deeply saddened by the loss of Anita, we are comforted in knowing she is now with her daughter, Jada and her sisters June & Bonnie and at peace,” Pointer’s family said in a statement. “Heaven is a more loving beautiful place with Anita there.” “She was the one that kept all of us close and together for so long. Her love of our family will live on in each of us,” the statement said, while also asking that the family’s privacy be respected “during this period of grief and loss.” The four Pointer Sisters began singing together more than 50 years ago in their hometown church in Oakland, California, where their father ministered. Bonnie Pointer and her youngest sister, June, made their professional singing debut as a duo in 1969. They later recruited older sisters Anita and Ruth to join them, before releasing their first album together in 1973. The group won their first Grammy Award for their crossover hit, “Fairytale,” in 1974. They are also known for hits like “Slow Hand,” “Neutron Dance,” and “Jump.” The group won three total Grammy Awards and had 13 US Top 20 hits between 1973 and 1985. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
