RIP Don Rickles#1

Today a comedy legend approached the pearly gates and was greeted by Johnny Carson, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and many more greats. They invite him to the dais and Robin says "And now, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the podium a man who gives the best potato head, Mr. Warmth himself, Don Rickles."

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

He was a great man of comedy and a great, great man. Reginald Tresilian and I were privileged to see him live and spend some time with him, and he was a warm and loving as he was sharp and funny.

No one else has ever been as able to mix insult comedy with genuine respect. He was one of a kind.

I know a LOT of people who have worked with him over the years. Not one has anything to say other that of what a warm and caring person he was. He always made me laugh! That you Sir!
