One of the greatest comedians ever died ("died?") on May 16, 1984... and claimed that he would return 20 years later. Now everyone is getting as excited about his return as they were 20 years ago. Andy is expected to resurface for an anniversary show (with Tony Clifton, among others) and say it was all a joke. I am not a comedian or actor, but Andy influenced me and what I do as much as any other artist I admire.

As Laurie Anderson put it best in 'The Rotowhirl,' "I have never been one that hoped that Elvis is still hanging around somewhere, hiding, but I will probably always expect to see Andy reappear, someday."

Me too.
