Harvey Korman is a badass. He has starred in some of my all time favorite movies. He died today at age 81. Here's to a super tight individual who will make me laugh for years and years to come.
Here's Harvey as Hedley Lamarr in Blazing Saddles. RIP.

Thank you for the admiring words about Harvey Korman. He was one of television's true comedic geniuses.
Here's one his own comments:
"It takes a certain type of person to be a television star," he said in that 2005 interview. "I didn't have whatever that is. I come across as kind of snobbish and maybe a little too bright. ... Give me something bizarre to play or put me in a dress and I'm fine."
Here's one from Mel Brooks:
"A world without Harvey Korman -- it's a more serious world," Brooks told the AP on Thursday. "It was very dangerous for me to work with him because if our eyes met we'd crash to floor in comic ecstasy. It was comedy heaven to make Harvey Korman laugh."
Thanks also for your various interesting commentaries on music. You've piqued my interest in Magnetic Fields.
