    Sonny Rollins seems to be the oldest living jazz great. Not many others left born before 1940. Only 4 years younger than Coltrane, who's been dead 51 years.

    I was going to list Ruth Bader Ginsburg, but it seemed to tempt fate. I was actually going to propose ruling her out of nominations, but that would be to invite lists of exemptables.

    In fairness to Kev, I request swapping out Kirk Douglas for Max von Sydow.

    Does that mean someone can sneak in and steal Edson Arantes do Nascimento, and Richard Starkey?

    When that happened before they don't score a point in themselves but count as a tie breaker. Effectively half a point (citing AdeC and his choice of Debbie Reynolds as precedent).

    I want credit if any of mine still go in 2018, Vera Lynn can only be one mince pie away from an hour-long BBC News eulogy on Boxing Day

    I agree. If SB says he wants Kissinger back, Matt will have to reselect.
