    That's too bad. A true icon. He made it a good long time. I bet being able to vent like that as part of your career is good for stress levels......and he could vent like no other.

    Yeah, 'ol Don could really let it fly. He lived a good long time and we were blessed to have him for as long as we did. RIP Don.

    While Rickles was brutal (in a humorous way) to others, this is my favorite way to think about him:

    If ever there was a time we needed Don Rickels, this PC soaked SJW invested age is surely it.
    Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

    An icon of my childhood and early adult years. He was a funny man.

    I did have the good fortune to see Foster Brooks while stationed in Japan in 81 or 82. What a great show he put on, too.

    RIP, Don. A guy that could tear up anybody with his comedy, but was a real sweetheart in life.
