I know, not music related, but worthy of rememberance. I grew up on his comedy albums. His career was unfairly curbed, but he would show up every now and then on TV. But his standup is still some of the best.

His delivery and style were unique. I remember the line from one of his gigs, when his father was reacting to him leaving Chicago for NYC to become an actor: "Sheldon, don't change your name."
