    The loss of this dear man was such a blindside that no-one speaks about him here. Or is it just me? How can it be that it actually physically feels like a beloved family member died even now? I know that what I feel right now in February 2021 , after this clip inexplicably appeared atop my UA-cam feed and that I actually watched, is palpable grief. No one else articulated the madness/absurdity of this world like these two. Diffused it. Served it up cold. What a pairing. Never again. No more words.
