Happy Birthday Tommy Smothers!
Keith Olbermann pointed this auspicious occasion out to viewers today -- Tommy Smothers' birthday.

Here's to Tommy, who fought for free speech and peace in the world and lost his TV career because of his courage.

1. I have the show on tape and now on DVD.
I copied them over.

One of the cable channels had the shows, I think it E.

It was fun watching the shows again.

2. His wife, Marcy, is a liberal talk-radio host
I heard her a few times filling in on KGO. I think she has, or had, a regular gig at a station near St. Helena, where they live.

Didn't know this: He played guitar on "Give Peace a Chance."
