  • ...they could'nt find anyone who died so I got this message:

    "That’s exactly half the life of somebody famous. In another 30 years and 256 days, you will have lived exactly as long as Arthur Lee. He was a singer and guitarist for the psychedelic rock band Love, one of the first interracial rock bands who died at the age of 61 years, 149 days of leukemia."

  • I met Arthur a few times, loved that man... RIP... :(

  • Love are awesome.

    The fact that arthur was a lovable fellow as certified by teenslain, makes me like them even more.

  • Goes off to play some Love...

    I got Amy Lowell, a Pulitzer Prize-winning poet. Which is ironic due my success on the Haiku thread.

  • whoever's behind DeadAtYourAge has gone a bit heavy on the poets. or maybe i am just a good age for poets to die at.

  • You are 34 years and 26 days old today.

    That’s exactly half the life of somebody famous. In another 34 years and 26 days, you will have lived exactly as long as William Henry Harrison. He was a ninth U.S. president best known for serving only one month before dying of pneumonia who died at the age of 68 years, 54 days of pneumonia.

    Fuck it....i'm putting the heating on!

  • At your exact age, Enver Pasha died of injuries sustained in surprise attack. He was a Young Turk revolution leader, Ottoman Empire war minister and instigator of the Armenian genocide

  • You are 25 years and 207 days old today.

    You've outlived Aubrey Beardsley by one day. He was an Art Nouveau illustrator best-known for his erotic drawings and work for "The Yellow Book". He died of tuberculosis on March 16, 1898, 86 years before you were born.

    watch that cough...heh.

  • You've got to rate Arthur Lee massively for picking up the pieces of Love after everyone had overdone it with the drugs and booze and fallen apart. And on "False Start" he gave the new drummer an 8 minute spot to showcase his awesome talent. "Doggone" is a track that just couldn't happen these days and contains one of the most astonishing drum workouts in rock, as well as one of the toughest drum breaks ever recorded. I can't find it on youtube but if you haven't heard it try and get a copy, it's outrageously dope. Probably my favourite Love track just cos it's so cool to give the drummer some for such a long time on a record and get it passed for pressing.

  • You are 21 years and 215 days old today.

    You've outlived Eddie Cochran by almost three weeks. He was a 1950s rockabilly guitarist and singer/songwriter. He died in an auto accident on April 17, 1960, 28 years before you were born.

    In 21 days, when you reach 21 years and 236 days of age, your lifespan will surpass that of a legendary Western desperado who may have killed more than two dozen men in his short life.

    You're one of very few people I know who likes the post Bryan McLean stuff then, I remember mates playing me Four Sail when I was a teenager and me covering my ears and fleeing the room screaming... Maybe it's worth another listen... ;]
    Everything up to Forever Changes for me is amazing... Bryan McLean and Arthur Lee were incredible spurs for each others talent, I kinda feel Arthur gave up when that line-up splintered...

  • 'You have outlived your usefulness and wasted your life. You should consider whether or not you are just taking up space'.

    It's a brutal site isn't it?

    Well the "You've lived half as long as..." bit was never gonna work for you Will....nobody ever lived to 146 ;)

    not really dude - just really "Doggone"... it's a real grower...

  • *You are 29 years and 327 days old today.

    You've outlived Christine Chubbuck by three days. She was a TV news reporter who committed suicide during a live broadcast of her "Suncoast Digest" program. She died of suicide by gunshot on July 15, 1974, 5 years before you were born.*

    what a way to go

  • Well the "You've lived half as long as..." bit was never gonna work for you Will....nobody ever lived to 146 ;)

    But I know some people who are beginning to look as if they have ;)

    hehe....i blame these laughter lines caused by laughing at your jokes! :)

  • I like that Love song about Arthur's Aunt Morgan.

  • hehe....i blame these laughter lines caused by laughing at your jokes! :)

    I find that crying quietly before bed time makes them diminish. Cheaper than botox.

    Do you cry unicorn tears? Legend has it that the tears of a unicorn have magical powers that can bring the dead back to life.

    If so....can you cry all over my wallet...cos somebody killed it :(

  • You are 20 years and 178 days old today.

    You've outlived Raymond Radiguet by one day. He was a French novelist and lover of Jean Cocteau. He died of typhoid fever on December 12, 1923, 65 years before you were born.

  • @ Scott You have a wallet? Rich bastard.

  • Yeah...i had to make it though :(

  • From pure sadness that you wove in to a hardwearing but stylish fabric? Can't be beat. Ask me nicely and I might buy you a half some time.

  • You are 39 years and 106 days old today.
    At your exact age, Dinah Washington died of an accidental overdose. She was a versatile singer who was as comfortable with jazz and blues as she was delivering pop and soul tunes.
