Dead at 71, was my absolute favorite show (NBC "Tomorrow", where Conan O'Brien airs now, and followed Johnny Carson for years) from junior high through college… …in an era before the internets, before cable TV really permeated America, it was one of few venues where one could be treated to the likes of the Clash, PiL, the Tubes, Plasmatics, etc.…

Some youTube viewing dredged these clips up:

Best of "Tomorrow Show", including clips of Charles Manson, a young Bono, etc.…

Charles Manson

Couldn't locate the clip when the Tubes appeared, probably my favorite episode ever…

He kind of faded away after Letterman took his slot, doing some talk radio gigs and eventually coming back to late night TV but by that time, it was a different realm and I don't even think I caught his return…

"Should the batman kill Joker because it would save more lives?" is a fundamentally different question from "should the batman have a bunch of machineguns that go BATBATBATBATBAT because its totally cool?". ~Goumindong
