He was one of my favorite SNL members, ever, and along with John Belushi, is one of the few famous people I continue to mourn, years after his death.<BR/><BR/>Then there's Bill Hicks, whose insights I really miss.<BR/><BR/>I find myself thinking, "How would Phil Hartmann have played George W.?", or, "What words of wisdom would Bill Hicks have had about the World Trade Center, or the War on Terror?"<BR/><BR/>I think the world is a worse place for not having those comic geniuses around to poke fun at the horror that ensued.<BR/><BR/>That said, I am so glad you're still with us, and hope you continue to find ways to stand up for what you believe in, with humor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16654170.post-1158668791645569002006-09-19T07:26:00.000-05:002006-09-19T07:26:00.000-05:00Sign me up for the book~!

Shows some depressing statistics, but all look like a good read. I can't wait til your book comes out, as the chances of you doing your show in Florida is like a red state in hell's.<BR/><BR/>My son Bink, who is 8, when shown Some Like it Hot when he was 5, ran up to the tv and kissed it when he saw Marilyn.

I'm here in my office on campus, trying to recuperate from an encounter with one of our Nursing faculty; after complaining about a knee injury, she snapped it up in her hands and performed "Therapeutic Touch" on it, much to my horror! It was a bit unnerving due to the age and gender difference between us, and the whole time, I was remembering that sketch of yours with Luke Perry! No, really! I was actually thinking of it a few nights agao, too, but it came back to me during this incident. And now you're discussing it on your blog. Eerie! To steal one of your lines, "It just makes you know there's a god." : )<BR/><BR/>-- SheldonSheldonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11861876430546129295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16654170.post-1158608072669612852006-09-18T14:34:00.000-05:002006-09-18T14:34:00.000-05:00Netflix is the only way we watch movies now.

If it turns out to be a good fit it may enable you to create your own show in time. I'm looking forward to any and all of that.<BR/><BR/>Phil Hartman did beautiful work, and if you liked him I'm sure he himself was beautiful, too.<BR/><BR/>If you do end up seeing “The Girl With The Pearl Earring” I hope you'll mention, however briefly, your impressions of the film. From what you've written I expect you'd find it annoying for any number of reasons, most specifically the victim story. It seems just a little bit "Camille," although it's unflinching about the male domination of women. I hope never to see it again.<BR/><BR/>Are there really two audio recordings of LGOG, one performed for the listener and one performed for a theater audience? I thought that was a great idea but I gather you've settled on one approach or the other. Of course I am wrong about many things.<BR/><BR/>It's delightful to read new missives as you post them. Thanks for the effort.<BR/><BR/>StevenSteven Strausshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02929263697363056360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16654170.post-1158503998901368212006-09-17T09:39:00.000-05:002006-09-17T09:39:00.000-05:00The Sound of Music - that one will never get old. ...The Sound of Music - that one will never get old.

I'm not a huge musical fan, but I do love that movie. The "Edelweiss" scene still chokes me up, especially since it would be nice to see people in our country today be able to join together and do something symbolicaly similar to that about the way we're being led down this awful road!<BR/><BR/>I'll be keeping my eyes open for that PBS series. I don't find it unusual at all that they asked you to host. I *would* have been surprised if they had asked some ultra-religious person to host, since in today's culture, science and religion seem to be incompatible to soo many people. <BR/><BR/>But getting a smart, sexy atheist to host? That just sounds like common sense to me!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
