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?

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.
