Thanks for sharing this clip, Susannah. There is nothing dated about his humor.
And don’t let anyone tell you there is a time limit on remembering and missing a loved one who is no longer with us.

I’m often accused of lying about him, a terrible thing, because unlike others, I never made hay out of our association. Our relationship was between us, and I write about him Skinny for two reasons, in memory to his greatness, and in memory of our love, in equal measure. Thanks, as always.

A lovely tribute to a loved one, gone too soon. They are always gone too soon.
Hmm… Mick would have been 57 on Friday. I knew their birthdays were close, didn’t realise it was two days. I miss him more this year than ever. Blaming the pandammit.

I didn’t know that either. sigh Patti Smith also lost her husband in 1994. Loss, it never leaves us. Happy Birthday Mick. Maybe he and Bill, and Fred Smith, are all together makin’ music. π

When my late friend Brenda and Mick were feeling no pain, we knew it by their arms around each other’s shoulders singing “Free Fallin”!

You said it. I walked so gingerly I’m sure, annoying all those behind me. I didn’t even run for fear of ice, a runner’s only foe, in my humbled, iced opinion.

This reminds me of a Gene Autry song? I can almost hear it. “Back in the saddle again. Out where a friend is a friend.”

I love that song. Nora Ephron uses it in Sleepless in Seattle when Tom Hank’s character starts to date again. Great film.
