i was preparing for this day to come soon. he held on for as long as he could. i remember watching him take part in scholarly debates even when you could tell he was deathly ill. he was a true intellectual and his thoughts on religion and politics will have a lasting impact on me. we just lost one of the best.

[polkablues]

I tended to agree with him on religion and disagree on politics, but no matter what he was talking about, I was always happy to listen. He suffered no fools lightly.

After suffering two strokes and a heart attack this morning, comedian Toddy Lynn has died. Lynn, was who a divisive and outspoken comedian, had suffered from pancreatic cancer and was also a diabetic.

"He had been reaching out to a lot of people and was changing for the better," his manager tells Laughspin. "He always knew how some other people felt about him." Although his health wasn't entirely strong the last few years, Lynn had been amping up his comedic output, even developing a strong buzz within the industry at last summer's Just For Laughs comedy festival in Montreal. "He was great," Paul continues. "He was a really smart and warm guy. But a lot of people didn't get to know him." Lynn even had a PhD in Literature.
