Had dinner with Pete and Phil Proctor back in 1980. Most folks won't know Pete was a true genius. His day job was as a scientist. I actually have his business card around here somewhere, not to mention all their albums, plus those he made with Proctor, touring as "Proctor and Bergman."

A significant wing of our library has officially burned to the ground.

Now, he and the others cut their teeth on Pacifica Public Radio, and were, or are, huge libs, but that won't stop me from listening and ROTFLMAO the rest of this weekend.

True. He helped produce a machine for viewing angio cardiograms and measuring the blockage of the arteries of the heart.

In 1969, the “4 or 5 Krazy Guys” did some wacky TV ads for a local Los Angeles car dealer, Jack Poet Volkswagen:

Brings tears to my eyes.
