That made me laugh. Not in a morbid way but I think that joke is appropriate. I loved that show growing up. I never watched a lot of All in the Family but I watched a ton of The Jeffersons, Good Times, and Sanford and Son. RIP indeed
My favorite Prog Rock Fan of all time: http://dangerousminds.net/comments/weezy_get_me_some_lsd_george_jefferson_is_a_big_prog_rock_fan R.I.P. Freakshow.
He lived in El Paso? Seems like an odd place for someone famous to settle down, especially being from philly. RIP.
To the deeluxe apartment in the sky. A friend of mine said he met him at a UTEP game..so maybe he loved West Texas.
sad that i only know him from fresh prince and sister sister...he was hilarious, and a very recognizable face. RIP
