Just found out that Spike Milligan died this morning. A sad loss, he was a true comic genius, and one of the few truly original comedy writers.

Yeah, a sad thing indeed, I only foud out a little earlier.
He had a good life, all 80-something years of it, he will be missed greatly.

Very sad news....Spike was always my favourite Goon, anybody read 'Puckoon'? One of the few books ever to make me laugh out loud.
A true comic genius, he'll be sadly missed. I, for one, will be walking backwards for Christmas this year.

83 years old. Here's a link to a webpage where (with the aid of Windows Find, since it's buried in a lot of other stuff) you can download and listen to Milligan's holiday hit, I'm Walking Backwards for Christmas: http://www.mono211.com/drfetid/
And this is a website that lets you play through close to a dozen Goon Shows as they first aired, back in the fifties: http://www.members.home.com/lhennig/ |
