Dead Comic: Learning Of His Death At The Wake
by Doug Draime
The wake had just ended and
the morticians were in charge of
the potluck. Praise the Lord, let’s eat !
And on the Big screen TV
Dallas vs the Colts
which was interrupted
by a news flash that a
“Clown Prince” had just died … cuts to
his climb up from the beer joints
of Dayton, Ohio, bits and bites from
his numerous movie roles. But I’ve heard
he was most proud of opening for
ZZ top 20 years ago
in Vegas, at age 65,
everyone stoned out of
their motherfucking minds
and every day was another woman
another party
