As big of a Kris Kross fan I am, I could still only think of Chris Smith. I decided to put in Mac Daddy and I was so freakin' surprised it worked! XD

Level 82

There are big Kris Kross fans??

Level 82

Dec 30, 2013

Tragically, none of these people are Glenn Beck.

Level 78

Dec 30, 2013

Lou Reed = Velvet Underground guitarist the way John Lennon = Beatles vocalist. Lou Reed was way more than the guitarist.

Level 67

Dec 31, 2013

Boy howdy, Bob! You could say a lot more about all of them, even the ones for whom I don't care. It is not meant to be a complete obituary.

Level 89

Dec 30, 2013

Dang, I forgot Helen Thomas' last name!

Level 72

Dec 30, 2013

Always will remember Helen Thomas for her part in Stephen Colbert's infamous Correspondent's Dinner speech.

Level 27

Dec 30, 2013

Phew... Thathcher, Ebert and Clancy were total new to me. Kind of depressing, but I guess at one point you have to let people go...

Level 82

Kelly, Jones, "Paul Bearer," and Norton I never saw a single headline about but most of the others were pretty big news. Clancy probably got the least amount of coverage from those remaining, but though I forgot about him I do remember hearing something earlier this year.

Level 91

Dec 30, 2013

Wow. HUGE dropoff after Lou Reed.

Level 64

Dec 31, 2013

Jeff Hanneman? :(

Level 42

Jan 6, 2014

I only got one answer, Nelson Mandela. I forgot Cory Monteith"s last name

Level 35

Jan 9, 2014

Wow, TV father of Fresh Prince Almost made it.. One day late. Sad he had to die. ; ' (

Level 75

Dec 29, 2014

"White Lightning" for George Jones? Really? Big Bopper did it first. Instead, how about the best country song of all time, the No-Show Ol' Possum's "He Stopped Lovin' Her Today"? (We had a 'possum who came on our porch every night and ate our cat food. We called him George Jones. Later a female started coming with him and we christened her Tammy.) Nobody sang country like George Jones and Tammy Wynette.

Level 56

Jan 24, 2016

We lost some good people that year. And Thatcher!

Level 12

*breathe in* *sigh* I had just forgotten about Tom Clancy, and you had to remind me. THANKS A LOT

Level 60

Paul Bearer makes the list? Someone's dedicated!
