He has always been there... speaking his mind, speaking the truth, cutting through all the BS, -- the guy on the corner who attracts a crowd leveling with them and making them see the absurdity of society. I will miss him. Every couple of years he would go away and then come back for a visit via an HBO special or comedy tour to tell us what he has observed since the last time we saw him. A couple years from now, I will be expecting a new special, but alas there won't be one. Thankfully, he has left us a wealth of material that we can continue to digest and enjoy. Ed, I forgot that you saw him live 20 years ago. I remember when you did because I was so envious of you. In his most recent special... just a few months ago, he was looking a bit frail. He seemed older than 71 in it. It made me wonder how much longer we would have him, but I thinking in terms of years, not months. He will be greatly missed.
