I was watching Monday Night Football and Howard Cosell broke the news. I was stunned. I woke my wife. The days following were terrible, unbelievably terrible.
Just as he had resurfaced and seemed to have gathered up his life, he was gone. Gone much too soon. A voice, if not THE voice of my generation.
I wonder what he'd think of the past 30 years. The wall has come down, but several others have gone up in its place. His message of peace still remains unfulfilled.
