When I was in Saudi for Desert Storm, Williams did a “Good Morning Saudi Arabia!” routine on AFN, regularly, I think, not just a one-time thing. On the plane ride back, we were all treated to a video Williams did where he welcomed us all back. RIP

Well said. I liked Ryan when he was picked for VP. Now I wouldn’t piss on him if he were on fire.

I wish I could have spent 5 minutes with a man like Williams the night before he took his own life.

Actually, what I keep seeing here is that people in Hollywood (and other situations) could use one honest and decent friend. Someone who wasn't out for their money or stuff, not a syncophant, someone who would tell them in a lighthearted way when they were full of crap and explain it to them, commiserate, whatever.

There must be some terribly lonely people out there. Success has its own way of building barriers.

I agree. The best friends I ever had told me my faults. God does the same thing to me, and He is my friend, and also my Judge and Lord.
