[micropolitan guy]

Apparently there's a rumor afoot that SportsJournalists.com favorite Gordon Lightfoot had died. Not true, according to this.

So what's the point of this thread ... to list people NOT dead?

Keith Richards is also still alive.

I wasn't aware that Keith Richards hadbeen reported dead on a very prominent social networking site.

Gordon Lightfoot had been reported dead, however.

So, you're one step ahead of the VCU basketball team then?

That is just wrong.

He did not come on deck and say, "Fellas, it's been good to know ya."

And after all, or so it's been said, Superior never gives up its dead.

The really sad thing?
They say he'd have made Whitefish Bay if he'd have put 15 more miles behind him.

****. I burned that candle for nothing in the Maritime Sailors Cathedral in Detroyet.

(I love how some Canadians pronounce "Detroit" as "Detroyet")

If it hadn't been too rough to feed him, he'd have been OK
