Re: Up where he belongs Reply #1 – December 23, 2014, 08:17:20 am Brings back memories of Rex Hunt saying 'he as higher than Joe Cocker'! Taking that into consideration, 70 is not a bad knock at all. RIP Joe.

Re: Up where he belongs Reply #6 – December 23, 2014, 09:37:07 am Somehow, I think that between 70-80 is a good innings. If you go longer you start to have such a reduced impact on life the universe and everything and seem to be doggged by illness unless you are one of the fortunate ones.
Re: Up where he belongs Reply #8 – December 23, 2014, 11:28:29 am No doubt there's a minion somewhere in AFL House who is scratching his name off the AFL's list of septuagenarian rockers who are in the running for next year's GF.

A snort or two of cocaine and they're as good as 20 again
