It would be sureal if someone put their own name on this and died a few hours later or better someone elses name who died suddenly soon after. Suicides and murders would be cheating tho and would have to be an unexpected death.

Apparently the iphone 5Gs will have afterlife email capability. Could be interesting in, for example, murder cases.

If you insist on smearing me then at least have the balls to publish what you accuse me of writing. Except of course it isn't real is it?

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Tom "T-Bone" Wolk, the mainstay bassist of Hall & Oates' band for nearly 30 years, has died of an apparent heart attack. He was 58.

The band's manager, Jonathan Wolfson, says Wolk died Sunday in Pawling, N.Y., where he had been recording a solo album with Daryl Hall.

Wolk joined Hall & Oates in 1981. He was also a member of the "Saturday Night Live" house band in 1986-92 and performed with numerous other musicians, including Carly Simon, Billy Joel and Avril Lavigne.

Wolfson says Wolk was preparing to appear Monday with Hall & Oates on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon."

"Daryl used to refer to him as the ampersand in Hall & Oates," said Wolfson, adding both members of the duo were crushed by the loss.

"It's not if I will go on, but how," Hall said in a statement. "T-Bone was one of the most sensitive and good human beings that I have ever known."

Oates called him "peerless."

"Any instrument that he touched resonated with a sensitivity and skill level that I have never experienced while playing with any other musician," Oates said. "He possessed an encyclopedic knowledge of styles and musical history which he referenced to support all the artists that he played with over the years.
