In reply to the discussion: Tommy Smothers of Smothers Brothers comedy duo dies [View all]virgdem
(2,133 posts)22. What a loss. Always loved
the Smothers Brothers and their unique brand of political comedy. Was fortunate enough to see them perform back in 2009. They still were at it and had not lost their political edge.
RIP Tommy, I will miss you!

They introduced America to ideas that differed from the dictated norm. Comedy and great entertainment.
