    RIP Dr. Oliver Sacks (July 9, 1933 - August 30, 2015), aged 82
    And
    RIP Robin Williams (July 21, 1951 - August 11, 2014), aged 63
    You both will always be remembered as legends.

      It's fascinating a coincidence that both were born and deceased in the same months, respectively.

    Robin Williams was Dr. Sacks and Dr. Sacks was Robin Williams. They were, just like he said, so similiar but complementary creatures. They looked alike, they moved alike. It's so amazing.

    These two men made a huge impression on me in my earlier years. Oliver Sacks is so interested in the people and I thought that was great. So to with Charlie Rose and the idea of sitting down and really talking to other people about the world.

    I met him once towards the end of his life. Fascinating, intelligent, funny. He joked about being ill. Said he was going outside for a walk. “What could possibly hurt me now”? He said. I wish I knew him better. RIP Dr. Oliver Sacks

    Such a strange coincidence.... just the other day I was saying to my wife that Sacks looked like Robin Williams, then this comes up. Weird. Sacks is a great author; I just finished Hallucinations, and am working on Musicophilia. Like it a lot.

    I generally love Charlie Rose, but he spoke far too much in this interview. Especially with someone like Oliver Sacks who is a voracious writer, you really just need to sit back and let him talk.

    Oliver was able to get an ordinary Joe such as I to get interested in his work. That's quite a feat. His books are not only interesting to read, they are very beautiful, full of humanity, always an uplifting experience. I'm reading 'The Man Who Mistook his Wife for a Hat', at the moment and it's sheer joy.

    Gosh, I wish I’d known this man. His world was so rich with experiences, knowledge, curiosity, and empathy. He also loved and understood the world of music, and musicians, something I’ve been immersed in for many years. I also found the interviewers techniques very annoying.

  • @GoodbyePanama

    Charlie Rose the Interrupter, the worst interviewer ever who always somehow booked the best guests. Why Rose needs to say anything during this interview is beyond me. Just let the great man talk.

    Yeah... Really interesting the many similarities between he and Robin. Robin was not completely of this earth. That's probably why he spaced himself from Robin for a while. It seems as if Mork was already like this man. It's quite uncanny. 💚

      Ruben Toco - It's said that he was an extremely high-functioning autist... a multi-talented genius, really; enormously accomplished in a number of different fields--though like many such individuals somewhat socially awkward. People like that are often hard for most people to fully relate to or appreciate.
