More Than Memories

Radio and TV outlets began playing Bob Hope's theme song early yesterday, as soon as news of his death became known. "Thanks for the Memories" is undoubtedly the headline of choice today for tributes to Hope, who was born in England and who died the most honored American entertainer in modern history. Still, it's worth remembering that Bob Hope's legacy is about a lot more than memories -- at least the kind suggested in those innocently romantic lyrics about lazy afternoons and the way we danced together.

He is sadly missed.

I posted this on another thread when I first learned of Bob Hope's passing:

Probably Bob Hope's most classic line is about "...it's Oscar night; of course, at our house we call it 'Passover.'"

But I love this one I just heard on Fox News:

"If I had my life to live over again, I wouldn't have time!" --Bob Hope

Thanks for the memories, Bob!
