Peter Bergman (1939 – 2012).
Peter Bergman (pictured on the right), one of the four or five guys from the Firesign Theatre, passed away Friday morning.
The Firesign Theatre site has a memorial page that you can visit right here.
You were a funny guy, Mr. Bergman. Thank you for all the entertainment and laughs you’ve provided over the years, and I, along with all your family and friends and fans, are grateful that you’ll continue to live on in the work you’ve left behind.
So long, Peter.
“Coming, mother!”
I think I’ll listen to my old FT albums today in memory of him.
Moebius passed away. R.I.P.
Guess it’s time for me to re-read Silver Surfer: Parable.
“Like a hot kiss at the end of a wet fist…”
I hadn’t heard about this yet, so thanks for the memorial. Firesign was so great.
I am very sad, especially in that this weekend I was traveling through central Missouri and heard a radio report from a certain “Matt Papoon” and couldn’t wait to pass it along via facebook to PB–by the time I got the chance I’d already heard he was dead.
Dang dang dang!
