RIP Opportunity.

Ah balls.
His show came on KUT-FM (Austin) at something like 5am on Saturdays, so I very rarely heard it. The one that sticks in my mind was about Jackson Pollock, or “Action Jackson.”

Small world that Peter and The Grateful Dead would ever cross paths:
"LEO: The Grateful Dead did not seem amused when you interrupted their set at the Monterrey Pop Festival. What was that all about?
PT: I was asked by the promoters to go out in between numbers and announce that the Beatles were not there, and for people to stop climbing the walls in an attempt to get in to see them. And Phil Lesh started giving me a ration saying, ‘Let ’em all in’ — or whatever, as if he would play without getting paid." leoweekly
“The Beatles Aren’t here.”
One of my fave Peter vocals:
Remembering Steve Irwin
RIP Stanley Donen…
