Feckers : you would wonder were they really Bumped off ?

[PalazioVecchio]

There's a hell of a lot of political comedians dying young. Especially in the US. Sam Kinison & Bill Hicks being only the first of many. Andy Kaufman being another questionably early to the grave - a non smoker who died of lung cancer ?
John Belushi...33 years old.
Tony Hancock....Richard Beckinsale....all gone young......comedians seem more inperil than rock stars. Peter sellers , leonard Rossiter, Mel smith, rick Mayall, roy kinnear, caroline Aherne , peter cook...the little guy from Different strokes,

Not really suggesting foul play...but its a deadly profession ?

John Cleese seems to be the exception to the rule.

Good call on Sonny Liston. That whole story was very dodgy.

Involved with the mob, wasn't he?

Involved with the mob, wasn't he?

He was and it's long been suspected that his two fights with Ali (or Clay) were fixed.
There's a good book called The Murder of Sonny Liston by Shaun Assael which goes into considerable detail.
He was a wrecking ball of a boxer but had a tragic life.

oh, i would have never have thought of that one. Remember your question-mark please Eagle. We don't want the Palace sending Andrew around to interview you.

Not sure Lanzarote would let him in.
