The 27 Club & Ms. Winehouse

In my year+ of curating this beacon of deathly excellence that is the dead league blog I believe Ms. Winehouse wins for the youngest person to score points. At 27 years old she is the latest member of the "27 club" who all obviously would have been 1st round draft choices in our twisted game. The list includes Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain & Freaky Tah of the rap group Lost Boyz. Congrats to Cremation Nation who jumps from 4th to first on the back of his 6th round pick Ms. Winehouse. Condolences go out to all the teams that dropped Ms. Winehouse in the past 4 years including Dead Presidents (last 2 years), Get Got (under a previous owner 3 years ago) and Happy enTrails 4 years ago before I bought my stake in the franchise. They tried to make her go to rehab.... I bet they are now reconsidering their intervention skillz.

Happy Belated Death to Gerry Rafferty

Looks like the Rock and Roll lifestyle caught up with Mr. Rafferty and now he is "Stuck in the Middle With Liver Failure and Death." He was a 57 point score for Creamation Nation bumping him up the standings. Sorry didn't catch this one fast enough as it happened on the 4th of Jan.
