Today was a sad day in the world of comedy as one of the true old school cats whom helped shaped the game was called home. Rodney Winfield died today in St.Louis at the age of 76. I have many great memories on the road of working with the sailor hat wearing tuxedo donned dapper artist . He was sharply dressed and sharp of wit. Some of the rawest comedy I have ever seen was delivered by this clever gentleman. But is waqs backstage that the rawest lessons were taught to me by Rodney. Like the indulgences of the road and how you can blow it if you want to chasing fun but you better have something to stand on after stand up. People that really knew Rodney know exactly what I'm talking about hell he preached it to us all .
If nothing else he was real. That was the beauty of working with or just simply knowing Rodney . What you saw was what you got.
GOD SPEED FRIEND
