He was too old to cash in on. In my pool, 82 is like less than one point. Scott Weiland, last year, gave me an early Christmas present. I won the dead pool and with a very large lead this year, people are grabbing up poo poo like Bieber and Miley Cyrus, hoping to cash in. You gotta go for the slow roll, get a rock solid line of soon to die drug fuckups and former Jackass stars (protip: get Bam Margera - he's really good friends with my neighbor and I was out stocking the feeders for my goats he stared out at me from across the foggy meadow, all bloated and bleary eyed and said "unnghh" very like death rattleish if I must say so myself)

Just go watch old episodes of those rehab shows and pick people that are still off the wagon like Tom Sizemore.

Yeah, he's gotten tips from some of the greats, like Hunter Thompson and Keith Richards, so I think he's a high risk pick. Think of him as a WR3 non slot scrub in a very competitive 8 player league. Would you take Depp or go with Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi? al-Baghdadi is going to get JDAMed so hard lol his dental records might not be any good to forensics but we'll just have to pray a little.

Jeff Buckley kinda redeemed it but that song has a curse on it apparently.

Most things Cohen did that was made better by someone else taking it and turning it into something listenable.

The same is true about Bob Dylan.

Jeff Buckley missed the point, that version sucks. I don't know how you can look at the lyrics of the song and not figure out that the hallelujahs are sarcastic, but he managed.

I want to hear your logic on this because death pool strategy is a topic I didn't know I wanted to learn more about until now.

The song is a big gooball of fake emotion and the only way to make it interesting is to have someone dumb enough to think it's real perform it that way, so that he becomes part of an unintentional joke, and then you get some real tragedy out of it.

Leonard Cohens original version is like a straight version of Mario Cantone singing about his own bodily waste

The best advice I can offer you is to read the tabloids and I mean, FREQUENTLY. Scott Baio is a good pick and so is Charlie Sheen and Suge Knight. Sometimes you have to bet your heart and pray like crazy that your pick croaks, like sometimes it's Pol Pot, sometimes its Philip Seymour Hoffman.

I think your religion has a lot to do with it. For example, Jesus wouldn't kill Mother Theresa (unless your Jesus is protestant) but he'd probably schwack Osama Bin Laden or Margaret Thatcher. So invoke divinity before you draft. Find out where your god or gods stand on the issues. Hope this helps.
