"Three on a match" is another adage regarding bad luck and was supposed to have come from WWI.
Enemy snipers would look across the lines and see men lighting cigarettes - The glow from the fire and people trying to get three ciggies lit, would give him just enough time to sight and fire at the area illuminated by the match.

The strange part about these people passing is the level of 'famous-ness'
that each had. DC was and enigma, EM was an icon, FF an all-time sex symbol, MJ was bigger than the planet? BM? Someone you liked or chose not to notice......GS? That was a stage name!
It's like Carradine started it and it just ballooned...I got two phone calls about Billy Mays, One for MJ an no one mentioned Poor Old Ed.
Gale Storm stopped the "age trend" They were getting too young there, for a minute!
