Comedy Interlude - R.I.P. Peter Bergman

Peter Bergman of the Firesign Theatre died of Leukemia yesterday. One of the most influential court jesters of the counter culture, Peter had an amazing gift for vocal characterizations, from Mudhead in Don't Crush that Dwarf, to Chump Threads in Give Me Immortality or Give me Death, Peter's contributions always stood out. LA Times obit is here. New York Times obit.
