I was saddened today to hear of the passing of Vaughn Meader. His FIRST FAMILY album was perhaps the first time that I ever realized that anyone could actually make fun of the President of the United States. Done in such a good natured manner that even JFK was not offended.

Elayne and I, if memory serves, actually attended a party in NYC, following a performance by the Firesign Theatre, where Mr. Vaughn was in attendance.

My condolences and thoughts are with his family, friends and many fans.

Dang, I actually thought he'd passed on some time ago. There was an interview with him and he seemed, I dunno, rather bitter. I mean, he had no career after JFK's assassination.
