Rickles was insulting without being mean-spirited. I think that was his genius, and something a lot of his imitators find difficult.

Strange coincidence - I just watched, about a week ago with an Italian Mafia friend, that old Dean Martin celebrity roast show. Being roasted was; Dean Martin - hosted by Don Rickles (took place I think in 1978 in Las Vegas, MGM Grand). It was very good, marvelously done, and I laughed until my jaw hurt. You can find it on youtube.

Hey, dead boy Rickles - think you can get Satan to laugh at your stupid jokes and put downs? You have an eternity to try - and you are probably hot enough now to put on your own roast and have a captive audience.

Not something Rickles has to worry about. Hell is a Christian invention.

It's clear we need to do some kind of intervention, but it's hard to imagine what he might be on.

I'm not at all anti-Rickles, he was just never a favorite of mine. I never said "oh boy, can't wait to watch Rickles on Carson or Letterman tonight" like I did with Carlin or Robert Klein or Sam Kinison or Mitch Hedberg.

Kimmel did a funny, moving Rickles tribute last night...he was breaking up and trying not to cry through it. Apparently, they were quite close.

Steelers owner Dan Rooney died, 85. He's the 2nd elderly Steelers owner named Rooney I remember dying. Art Rooney was his dad!

Ham Caines of the band Democracy Reggae Band, dead as the result of an automobile accident on April 14, 2017, in the Tampa Bay area. I saw him perform many times when I lived on the west coast of Florida and met him when he played at a festival I helped organize. He was the real deal.

Erin Moran - little Joanie Cunningham...

Goodbye grey sky, hello blue,
there's nothing can hold me when I hold you.
feels so right you can't be wrong,
rockin' and rollin' all week long.
