R.I.P.

So far in September, Don Williams, Jerry Pournelle, Walter Becker, John Ashberry, and Shelley Berman have all passed away. Lots of other people, too, some famous and some not, but these are the people whose work I've admired and who have died in the last week and a half.

Especially Shelley Berman; twenty-five years ago, when I was actively collecting and listening to comedy records, I listed to Inside Shelley Berman and Outside Shelley Berman about a million times.
