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.
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.
Bruce Langhorne, the guitarist who inspired Bob Dylan to write Mr. Tambourine Man, dead at age 78 at Venice, California. Langhorne was an accomplished studio musician and played on many of Dylan's albums.
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.
