The second I saw the topic title I got a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.  Paid no attention to the news today-so here's where I saw it.  Serves me right.  Dammit. I had the pleasure of seeing him perform live here in town back in the early 80's (I think).  Was at the Winnipeg Concert Hall.  My mom took me.  How's that for progressive parenting?  She knew I loved his work, and she enjoyed it, too. Dammit. -------------- Turn up the music... Hi as Fi can go. Back to top

It was in my brother's record collection and I recall laughing hysterically over it. One part that stands out in my memory is "Seven Words You Can't Say On Television" (you can hear this routine on YouTube *CONTAINS PROFANITY*). I think it's easy to take him for granted, but I believe he was an important voice against censorship. -------------- "I'm no physicist, but technically couldn't Mike both be with the horse and be flying through space at the same time? (On account of the earth's orbit around the Sun and all that). So it seems he never had to make the choice after all. I bet he's kicking himself now." - clotty Back to top
