Yes, I read that Williams was physically tormented in those last months. Very, very sad. And also sad that, as a role model, he chose to commit suicide.
Perhaps he should be given a pass on that, as he wasn’t in his right mind. G-d will decide.

That was my take, that he wasn't fully aware of what he was doing.

Dont care much for most of the recent crop (SCTV cast and Bill Murray excepted, also Jeff Foxworthy and Ron White). You have to be careful with Ron White. I went to see him, and he was foul and crude... not like when he is on TV and has to keep it clean.
I saw Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the Cable Guy a few months ago. They had given free tickets so military personnel could come see them. They do a good show.

Huh? A list that leaves off Bob Hope, yet starts with Lenny Bruce, whose claim to fame is being the “comedic” ancestor of today’s F-bombers & Shock Jocks? He was a veritable Push-The-Envelope Pioneer in the entertainment industry’s wildly successful jihad to drag what was once known as American “Culture” into the cesspool it now is.
