Fleetwood Mac's Christine McVie has died.

 

[Channel98]

God! I will second that one – and she is likely to get a third.....and a fourth.....and a fifth.....and.....,,

In 1969, a year before joining Fleetwood Mac, McVie – then known as Christine Perfect – sang lead on this #14 British hit
by Chicken Shack. I'd Rather Go Blind was a remake of a 1967 Etta James song which was the B-side of Tell Mama.

'Game Of Thrones' Actor And Punk Pioneer Wilko Johnson Dies

“This is the announcement we never wanted to make, & we do so with a very heavy heart: Wilko Johnson has died," a tweet from his account confirmed.

One missing reference in the article is to the album made by Wilko and Roger Daltrey in 2014 "Going Back Home" Guardian Review
When snow starts to fall I always drag out the track "Ice On The Motorway". It's a great album from one bloke who'd hit 70 and the other on deaths door.

I think we found the winner of this years CDT madness. Unless someone else comparable also dies and they are matched up in the first round. Then Christine will be ranked #147.

Many may not know of the album she did in 2017 with Lindsey Buckingham. I really like two songs from it. They definitely have that classic Fleetwood feel.

In November they kept pilling and now we have entered the final month for 2022. Who is next to make the list?

For me Bob Saget has been my 2022 CDT winner, now Christine McVie could give him a running?

 

[Jon]

And Keith Richards is still among the living.

 

[HecticArt]

Bob seemed to be more of a surprise to me.

I remember his name standing out to me back when I was collecting baseball cards in 1982/1983. Something about it seemed to catch my 11 year old attention and tickle my funny bone.
