12. There was a bungie jumper a few years back...

She was actually training for the halftime show at the Super Dome, and someone mismeasured her cord (it was the second jump with the same cord, and the first jump stretches the cord, and they didn't remeasure.) So she dropped, and died.

Aside from that, I know of no one. The half-time undead rocker tour seems less fatal than Hard Rock Hotel in Vegas.

13. hell, are they as old as Mick jagger?

Heck, if they can still play (and they can) more power to em, although sadly the Who's best days are beind em. They wrote great songs, and as much as I love Pete and his songs, it's not the same without Entwhistle.
