RIP John Porkpie
If you’ve never heard this stuff before, it blows your little blue booties off because it’s fun, fun, fun.
Jack Horkheimer, the guy who did those weird Star Hustler spots on PBS, died this week. I didn’t know about it until This Week delivered the news on the “In Memoriam” portion of the show. I don’t mean to make too much of it, he was no Carl Sagan or anything, but he was among those who helped share a love of the universe. In his own special way, of course. I hardly remember the shows themselves; mainly that he walked over an odd blue-screened Saturn ring, was incredibly enthusiastic, and that my dad lovingly referred to him as “John Porkpie.” Thanks, Mr. Horkheimer.
