I've always loved you

Damn; Henry Gibson died. I have never seen Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In, but as the leader of the Illinois Nazis in The Blues Brothers (1980), he was an integral part of my childhood. Whatever that says about my childhood. I will miss knowing he's out there.

Thank you for posting this, as I fear otherwise the item might have been lost in this internet shuffle. He was an integral part of my childhood too; I loved him on Laugh-In.

Ah, sad.

Current music: Juliette Lewis, "Hardly Wait"

On purpose?

It's not thematic to the post, if that's what you mean. I got her covers of "Hardly Wait" and "Rid of Me" this afternoon from handful_ofdust; I like them very much, so I'm listening to them on periodic repeat. I am very fond of PJ Harvey.

You're welcome. I seem to mind that he's dead!

I'm glad you saw him.

I more meant that my only exposure to Juliette Lewis performing "Hardly Wait" is in the movie Strange Days, and it didn't exactly have me running out to buy the album. I'm glad they make someone happy, though!

Coincidentally, I re-watched The Blues Brothers on the weekend. And I do (faintly) remember him from Laugh-In, where he played a poet/priest.

I remember him from Laugh-In (I loved that show)- and also from Nashville- in which he was brilliant.

Yes ... my breakfast news was about him, and about Mary Travers ("Peter Paul and Mary"). A blue day, for sure.

I hadn't known about her! Argh. Peter, Paul, and Mary were not an integral part of my childhood past "Puff the Magic Dragon," but still.

I did see him in a small role in Magnolia (1999). I will put Nashville on the list.

That's a good thing to do with a weekend. I haven't seen it in a while.

I will probably need to see Laugh-In, too.
