rest in peace, by henry gibson

i think that i shall never see
a poem as lovely as a tree
but since i'm gone with both my boots
i'll just see trees mainly by their roots

rip henry gibson

editors addendum: even sadder, mary travers of peter, paul and mary has also left us.

Another icon of my youth is gone. I remember him for Laugh In, but I also remember him that Robert Altman movie (Nashville) and numerous appearances on Love American Style. He was an entertaining guy.

Where have all the young girls gone
Long time passing.

Despite the commercial that pops up in the middle of this, it's worth seeing Mary and the boys with John Denver, in color, so full of life.
