FortKnox's Journal: Ethiopian Shim-Sham

Sad sad news today.

It appears that the tap-dancing king, Gregory Hines passed away today from cancer.

Here's hoping he's laughing out loud, doing the 'ethopian shim sham' in heaven. He died too young, and its a sad day.

Yeah, it sucks

Even if you didn't like his work, you can't deny his contribution to popular culture.
Especially History of the World: Part I [imdb.com].
Rolling Papyrus.
The Vestal Virgin scene.
Great stuff.

Actually, I bought all the old Mel Brooks movies on DVD in hopes to get 'extras'. The only one that has extras, though, is spaceballs (directors commentary). But I was sadly disappoint. Mel isn't funny AT ALL in the commentary. Actaully, its quite boring :-(

Amen to that.

Here's hoping that he may rest in peace and go on to whichever better place he may have believed in. He was a great artist, powerful actor, and cool guy.
