From what the previous 70s KoSs tell me, they were somehow even bigger in the UK than in the US. Some Osmond songs we killed in the past I didn't recognize the names at all. If I play a KoS round I'm going to educate myself on the songs I didn't know, but if it's an unfamiliar Osmond song I take that as a sign from God to steer far, far away!

Are ill Pokemon voice actors starting to be an annual occurrence? Rachael Lillis, the OG Misty, Jessie, and Jigglypuff, has breast cancer that spread to her spine.

I think War is the best song here, though Rose Garden carries nostalgia points for me as my grandparents loved to play older country music and it's one of the few songs I can explicitly remember being played. I didn't have much interest in "real people things" as a child so the songs I do remember are bound to have some sentimental value. Oh Pretty Woman was another song I have explicit memories of my grandparents playing, but then, Roy's on his own level entirely.

The latter. She's still alive, occasionally making the news with a hospitalization. I remember there was a dead pool here that was "pick ten 1910s births, first to have them all die wins", I picked her in light of a recent hospitalization and thought that it would make her a clever pick. Only for her to not be a 1910s baby after all and outlive almost every other pick!

That is correct.
