who will live longest?

[bombaysaffires]

I don't mean for this to be morbid.... but since Stevie mentioned she intends to live til 94 or 95, and we've already lost Christine, it did make me wonder who will be the last one standing in this band.

I can see the 4 getting down to 2, with Mick and Stevie hanging on longer than the others.

Whether Mick or Stevie will be the last one standing is debatable....

Erm, this is in poor taste. These are real people all with their own health issues. Please think again.

it was meant in the spirit of reality shows like Survivor, as in, who will be the last one standing. I should have changed the Title line to better reflect that but it is too late.

If it's offensive I will delete.

It's offensive. This isn't reality TV, it's people's lives. And Stevie's and Mick's, too.

It's a pretty valid and inoffensive discussion topic over a drink at a bar, but the online voting aspect feels a bit off. Then again I don't watch Survivor or Idol. "Who will die first" would have been objectively on the nose.

This thread made me chuckle but not for its title. Of everything that has been said on this board somehow THIS is out of line? People clutching their pearls is beyond hypocrisy.
Both Mick and Stevie's mom lived very, very long. I would expect them to also live very long.

I can't vote cause I really don't know, I can't guess. Not for moral reasons but because for me that is a mystery. It can be a combination of how you had live, with genetics.

I have a couple of uncles that were very healthy, never smoked, never saw them drunk, but didn't reach 80.

Instead my godfather used to be a heavy smoker, my mother called him the chimney; he also suffer narcolepsy, but today he is 87 and looks fine.

So who knows.

I don't find this offensive. If she can talk about dying and the health of other members, then we can too. I don't think anything evil was meant here.

That said, I'll outlive Homer!!

No one said evil was meant, only that it's in POOR TASTE.


And you'll outlive me only because I can drink you under the table.

yeah I agree...I think the question "who will be the last one standing", which was the intention, is a bit of a pub debate for fun. I regret the word "die" which was just a placeholder and something I didn't catch before formally posting it. But it does give it a more morbid sound.

I'll remove it but as of now Stevie comes out ahead, then Mick, then Lindsey....for what it's worth...
