Cliff Edwards- this is sad.

It's a news piece about how nobody in his hometown knows who he is by name. Very sad ending to his life, too.

Here's the link. Sorry about that.

Cliff Edwards
I understand he's not a big figure anymore, but I thought this song would be his mark on the world.

Heck, I used to live three blocks from the home of Earl Warren, former Alameda County District Attorney, Governor of California, and Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court.

My experience is that hardly anybody in the neighborhood knew who he was, let alone that he'd lived there.

OH MY GAWD!

Wait . . . didn't he kill Kennedy?

Should say former home, since he'd been dead quite a while by the time I lived there. But if his star can fade to nothing so quickly within a neighborhood I'd say anybody's can.

We're Bing Crosby's hometown, and even though we have numerous memorials and the like I'd venture to say most kids 25 and under have no clue who he was.
