Never thought Buchwald lived up to his hype, but I did admire his tenacity in fighting Hollywood when they stole his idea which became Eddie Murphy's hit, COMING TO AMERICA (I think that's name). He's one of the few who actually won a lawsuit, I believe. He exposed Hollywood for the lying scum they are.

I saw him give a convocation at the Oswego State Tavern given by my Poli Sci club in 1974. He was hillarious and a gem. Even if you don't agree, the wit was infectious and his joy of life astounding. Godspeed Art. Give him a good laugh!

It's too bad that he's near death. I think that Coming To America is just about to turn a profit any week now.
