2024 Deaths (Pool)......

Neveragain

EOG Dedicated
A interesting side note. When I lived in Vegas, we'd see Joe Jackson at the Silverton buffet. He didn't live far from the hotel.

From Wikipedia Joe would have found several reasons to make his home in Las Vegas.

With slumping album sales from the Jackson 5, and difficulties with the Motown contract, beginning in 1973,
Joe began working hard in Las Vegas to make a night club act from his sons and daughters.
No doubt the Vegas mob connections of the day were courting Joe with generous comps to gain access to “Jacksonmania”.

Also, Joe was known for his extra marital relations with 1 of his 11 children, a daughter, born out of wedlock.

Joe could’ve been the first poster boy who lived by the old adage, “what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas”.

They were still touring....Tito, Jackie, and Marlon.

When i lived in Vegas in 2001 saw Joe in the afternoons many times at Palace Station and always by himself. Yes that Palace Station that OJ made famous some years later. Joe certainly sired some talented and rich kids.

Mutombo another brain cancer death, as we seem to see more and more of those.

But even hint at the idea of a connection between cell phones and brain cancer and you'll get censored.
 
Polio vaccine I got as a kid almost certainly caused my brain tumor. My black lab, Sweetie Pie, died from a seizure, almost certainly caused by vaccines dog owners are forced to give their pets.
