Who Would Have Thought...

This is so unbelievable. In 1969, how did he know?

Some of you may remember him but he passed away before many of us were
born. Red Skelton was a good & funny man. He also ended every show by
saying, "GOOD NIGHT AND GOD BLESS." Listen to the end of this. It is
something he said 39 years ago.

Very important that you listen to the very end! Eerie! Take a moment and
listen to it (from 1969). How would he have known that this is what is
happening?

FOR THE FEW WHO DON'T KNOW: Red Skelton was a movie star and comedian on
television back in the 1950s. He created a number of characters, and his
show was watched by millions..

WIse words, even then. Reds' genius was much more than just comedic. He was a great study of life. I haven't seen that in a while, thank you.

Grew up watching Red. The piece is a great one, and might very well add it to our outside blog. The HBO piece on John Adams that started last Sunday is terrific.

This, and that, are what we're supposed to be. One wonders what our founding fathers would think of the mess we're in these days.

thanks for finding this one.

We need more like him in the world of entertainment today. He was an icon and won't be duplicated anytime soon.

Kristal, This is great footage and very sobering. I remember watching Red Skelton on the old Black and White TV, so that dates me!

It goes to show you that the same issues go round and round. Gas, war, politics, economy all go up and down.

Yeah, how did he know? I must say that this is why my son goes to a private Catholic school. All the ridiculous talk in the public schools about how it's not politically correct to say or do this or that.

I'm speechless. Wonder what he would think to know that those last few words came true?
