That is really sad news. I sure didn’t agree with their politics, but loved their music. I thought Mary was amazing looking in her youth. Whatever else, PP&M looked and sounded very hip.

Here's another one:
Laugh-In film actor Henry Gibson dies
Henry Gibson, the quintessential character actor who played Nazis, priests, drunks and nosy neighbors during a 45-year career that included a stint as an original cast member on 'Laugh-In,' died Monday at his home in Malibu. His son, James, said Gibson died after a brief battle with cancer. He was 73.
