Guess God liked his brother best.

At least he didn't smother.

This is such a shame! I loved the Smothers Bros since I was a small child listening to one of the two albums of theirs that my Dad had.

Hilarious. Topical. And clean enough for the family.

R.I.P. Tommy Smothers.

And the Smothers Bros were a key part of the Folk Music scene in the 1960s.

Here is Tommy Smothers, introducing Jefferson Airplane, he definitely sounds stoned.

I am not familiar with him, I find it ironic the timing of people dying and their names going through my mind a day before I hear they died. I posted this video last night and thought of him for the first time maybe ever, and today I hear he has died. Happens all the time with me, especially with people I know personally.

I know

I’ve seen people dying of cancer and it is a horrible thing

Smothers Brothers were a top TV show in the late 60s
But they were too controversial for CBS

I would have guessed he departed many years ago. They must have been really young when they were doing their schtick.

Thanks for the laughs Tommy, RIP.

 

[BackAgain]

I enjoyed the Smothers Brothers. I didn’t care for their leftist political leanings.

But, to this day, I think it is pure GENIUS to yell “FIRE” if you fall into a vat of chocolate.

• Tom: You can tell who's running the country by how much clothes people wear, see?
• Dick: Do you mean that some people can afford more clothes on, and some people have... less on? Is that what you mean?
• Tom: That's right.
• Dick: I don't understand.
• Tom: See, the ordinary people, you'd say that the ordinary people are the less-ons.
• Dick: So who's running the country?
• Tom: The morons.
