Good luck Michael!

    Once about 10 years ago while I was at a small recording studio in Venice Ca, I heard a knock at the front door, so I went and opened it. It was Michael Mckean. He asked, “Is this the toy factory?”. I said no, and then he left.

    I thought you actually had to die to get a vid posted here, just like Robin Gibb and Donna Summer.

    But anyway, get well soon Mike.

    This whole car thing was cute back in the 20th century, but it has been spiraling out of control for decades now.

    Everybody, quit driving.  Does Lenny have to die before we come to our senses?  Seriously?

    Best wishes, Mr. McKean.
