What a breath of fresh air they were, back in the day before they were smothered.

Tommy Smothers dead at 86.

I thought the son of a bitch had disappeared, too bad.

I always enjoyed thee Smothers Brothers and their brand of folk music--outside of the hootenanny type folk of the 60s, but not as extreme ad Dylan (who I also loved). I saw them a few times in concert and on Broadway in I Love my Wife, not to mention their great TV show. Tommy was a great fool to Dick's straight man an could deliver lines almost no one else could. They've been retired for a while now, but I still have DVDs of some of their shows.

The Smothers Brothers show was one of the best shows on TV in the 60s. I've been to their winery in Sonoma County and was lucky enough to see them perform in 2009 here in Redwood City. I was surprised to hear that Tom was 86 yrs old. I thought he was younger.

Too many good people are leaving this life...

I am glad that Liberty is posting here. He keeps me grounded in reality. [My default position in half empty, but Liberty reminds me that it is possible the glass is half empty, but only temporarily, because the glass is also cracked and leaking.]
