Excellent post, Don Alfonso. Aren't you glad I called you in the middle of the night so you wouldn't be beat to the obit?

I really appreciate that Pigmeat. I hate it when these young whippersnappers one-up me on a good obituary. They just have no respect.

I saw David in concert at the Forum back in the mid-70s. To be honest, I was not impressed; he was very subdued, almost to the point of blandness. I guess I should be thankful for having seen him at all.

It was he who should have been thankful. I saw him in the summer of '74. Having the both of us attend his shows in such a short period of time was probably the highlight of his life.

Such a bummer really... now if I want to see him I'll have to open my refrigerator... that's where I see Elvis and I suspect I'll see DB in there too...

My question is... why in my refrigerator ?  Why couldn't Gypsy Rose Lee or Marilyn Monroe take up residence in there  <sigh>

Do any of you guys know where I left my bottle of Rum???  Oh heck now I have to find the bathroom...   someone hid it on me I just know it...  It's all that Doctor Poo's fault!  He does this to me all the time... arrrrghhh!!! I stepped in to his 'littler box'  well so much for time travel... grrrrrrrrr  Sumtin' is stuck to the bottom of my shoe...  smells funny in here now... <sigh>
