- Though there's only one original surviving Ramone so I don't think they should be included at all in the "still kickin" section.

- OK, sure. ħuman 00:39, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
- OK, sure. ħuman
Isn't there a "special club" for Grateful Dead keyboardists? ħuman 00:40, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
- Pigpen kicked at 27... ħuman 00:45, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
Should we sort "Can nothing kill them?" by birth year? ħuman 01:34, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
- Hard to do - most of them pre-date the national registry of births, marriages and deaths. Totnesmartin (talk) 15:20, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
- Hahaha. Shall we establish a lower cutoff for the "will nothing kill them" section? At least 60? 70? ħuman 22:09, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah (make it 60), and remove the clean living types too - it's supposed to be about people who survived the worst that they could throw at themselves, or it loses the humeur and becomes a random list of old people. Totnesmartin (talk) 22:46, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
- How about 65? Born 1945 or earlier (as of now)? And agreed, if they weren't known for abusing their bloodstream, there's no pojnt. Is Dean martin still alive? ħuman 03:19, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
- I'll agree to 60 (1950), since it would be a shame to leave out Ozzy and Alice. ħuman 03:30, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

The less-known names[edit]
Should we stick the band name in parens at the end of listings for those who have no idea who we are talking about - ie, James honeypot Scott (The Pretenders - guitar)? ħuman 03:35, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
- Good idea - or style of music for soloists. Totnesmartin (talk) 13:29, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
