With Ms Bacall's passing, all of the icons referenced in Madonna's 'Vogue' are now dead.

Of course, most all of them were already dead when the song came out in 1990, but still.....

[Sam's Drunk Dog]

Did you realize that on your own?

[tifosi77]

That they were all dead now, or that most of them were dead when the song came out? If the former, no - it's been plastered all over my Facebook page for the past day. In the latter, yes, that was a factoid I knew since I was in high school.

RIP Jean Harlow

The latency on Gaucho's internet connection is epic.

The former. I wouldn't even think of that song.

With the passing of Lauren Bacall, all of the icons named in Bertie Higgins' "Key Largo" have passed.

Saw that on Buzzfeed yesterday. I actually found that interesting.

[Froggy]

People famous from 40 years before a twenty year old song coming out all being dead isn't really that interesting to me. It's kind of like saying it's weird that all the survivors of the titanic are now dead.

RIP, though.

I wonder if anyone mentioned in" We Didn't Start the Fire" is still alive.

Kind of picking out the more recent of the events in the song (most?) Bernie Goetz? (maybe?)

[Beveridge]

Beatles were mentioned in that song so if you consider 2 of those guys still living, that would be 2. All of U-2 is alive, yes?

[tifosi77]

I wonder if anyone mentioned in" We Didn't Start the Fire" is still alive.

The following are still alive:

Doris Day, Sugar Ray (Leonard), England's got a new queen (Elizabeth), (Bridgitte) Bardot, (Fidel) Castro, (Bob) Dylan, Bernie Goetz.

It's been that kind of day at work.

[llipgh2]

I thought Sugar Ray referred to Sugar Ray Robinson, not Leonard.

[columbia]

Definitely not the band.

[shafnutz05]

Isn't Gaucho obsessed with Bardot? Or am I thinking of someone else.

[tifosi77]

I thought Sugar Ray referred to Sugar Ray Robinson, not Leonard.

Oh.

Well, he's dead.

I just wanna fly!

RIP original Z-boys skater Jay Adams "The Original Seed"

Sugar Ray is still alive. They just played Stage AE last year, and I know I just saw Mark McGrath on Sharknado 2.
