****. I saw him in Salina, KS on October 10, 2006. I had been wanting to see him live for years. Me and a friend drove up from Ok one day and caught the show in KS and I'm glad I didnt put off seeing him any longer. He had lost a lot of his energy id seen from his recorded acts but he was still one of the funniest comedians I have even seen.

That article sucked BTW. Focused too much on his drug use and barely mentioned his career. made him out to sound like a junkie. Surprisingly, CNN has a better one.

It is a sad day. I thought he was a good comedian, his bits made sense, he talked about stuff that most people only thought about. My fav. standup of his work was his Jammin in New York.

Yes it was a sad day, I saw that news also.
