I believe 60 minutes did a profile about him around then. They did mention the alcoholism, and I think he had a girl friend or wife who might have also been in a wheel chair. I remember the story ended with Leslie Stahl (or whomever) saying something about Callahan not ruling out children in his future and Callahan himself saying "I would like to hear the sound of little wheels in the house" (or words to that effect, I definitely remember the "little wheels" part). <br /><br />I also remember thinking, specificity because of Callahan, that if you are offended by about a third of a particular artist's comedy, then there is a good chance that artist is pretty cutting edge. <br /><br />I had lost track of him and his work, but still, for me, a pretty sad day.EdHeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09109361235271107574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8213262.post-48357962410011207382010-07-28T20:37:18.358-04:002010-07-28T20:37:18.358-04:00I'm changing my phone message NOW!I'm changing my phone message NOW!Piltdown Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06624809999110700764noreply@blogger.com
