Two comments:
1. Maybe now with Sandy's passing, we can lay those awful lyrics that Roddenberry wrote to rest as well.
2. A bizarre week in entertainment:
-Sydney Pollack (Oscar-winning director)
-Dick Martin(One half of the Rowan-Martin Laugh In team)
-Earle Hagen(Composer of themes for the Andy Griffith and Dick Van Dyke Shows)
-Joseph Pevney (Director of classic Star Trek episodes such as 'The City on the Edge of Forever' and 'The Trouble with Tribbles')
-Sandy Courage(noted above)
-Harvey Korman (second banana to Mel Brooks and Carol Burnett)
all passed away in the last seven days.
I don't know how the LA Times obit page can keep up the pace!
