In Memoriam: Tom Snyder
The AP is reporting that Tom Snyder lost his battle with cancer yesterday.
Mr. Snyder's Tomorrow Show was an important connection between myself and the avant garde during my formative years and after Tomorrow was cancelled, I followed him onto the radio, CNBC and CBS. I've mentioned him before on this blog and though I don't think all my links are coming-up via my misspelling, I remain a fan. Unfortunately, he hasn't been on television for a number of years and he deleted his blog in 2005, so there are those who may not know the man and that may be their loss.
I'm sure sometime over the next few days, MSNBC will put together a package of highlights, but in the meantime, I culled the following from YouTube and am offering it in one of their new-fangled players* because I've been looking for an excuse to use one.
Fire up a colortini, sit back, relax, and watch the pictures, now, as they fly through the air.
