I'd rather listen to Jacko any day of the week, as opposed to Elvis.

I think that we all remember what we were doing when we heard about Leon Trotsky.
Whenever I hear that name I think about a book called Virgins by Caryl Rivers about these Catholic schoolgirls who were nonconformist and rebellious.
They were in charge of the school mag and every week they had to find a different saint and describe their life and death for the 'Saint of the Week'!
One week they featured an obscure but honorable man called St leon of Skyrott - complete with persecution and exile for his beliefs and icepick assassination
OK, the poll is flawed,
Freddie is not on it. (Mercury)
Neither is Maurice Gibb, (A true music legend
ALSO:
DCI Taggart, Our Vera, or Max in Hollyoaks.

Unfortunately our major memory is of Reggie Bosanquet announcing it, and then completely ballsing it up on ITV news. An event which has passed down in family folklore and indeed was repeated last night.

hello stranger
I was on holiday in Halifax at the time with a boyfriends family.
They were huge Elvis fans so it was very intense.

In the great league of public grief for one they hardly knew, this is the current standings:

I expect the same will happen with Jacko.
That has to be one of the worst lists ever lol.
How could Jade make it on to any list? And Farrah didn't register much either apart from the usual "Oh, look, Farrah Fawcett's dead!" that people normally say when hear a celebrity's dead.

You missed Freddie Mercury off your list. When he died we played "Another one bites the dust" on the duke box. Oh how we laughed at the irony
