    The 4th Death of 2024

    I went with Brokaw. But have any deathlisters run the list through ChatGPT to assist with their picks for the next death?

    Thoughts On The 2022 List

    Not so much about the picks, but the first two hits of 2022 have brilliant tag lines! Ashes to ashes, Durst to dust Poitier not coming to dinner

    The funeral of Friederike Mayröcker was public and I attended it. I was unfamiliar with her work, but am working on a project regarding Vienna's Central Cemetery and considered it research . Most surprising was the choice of music: instead of hymns, the songs that were played included Procul Harum's "Whiter Shade of Pale" and Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" She is buried with her partner, Ernst Jandl. They lived in the same apartment complex but with two separate apartments... I think we can learn a lot from this!

    Austrian journalist Hugo Portisch dead. Anyone have him on their list?
  14. I'd like to be remembered as the person who saved the discipline "classics" from cancel culture by developing an interdisciplinary "introduction to Humanities" course based on the letters of Pliny the Younger.
