My younger brother and one of his buddies ~ wiseguy punks back in Dan Fogelberg's heyday ~ forwarded me the following earlier today after learning of his passing. I don't know how they found it ~ it's the summary of a three-year-old Dave Letterman program.

Please don't be offended; irreverent as it might be (not so much to Dan as to an even more highly respected Personage), this story is pretty damn funny...

Dave takes time out to tell a funny George Miller story he heard over the weekend. (George was a dear friend of Dave's who passed away last month. He had been on Dave's show 50-60 times') The story goes that George's on again/off again girlfriend (we'll call her Linda) finally had enough of the on again/off again relationship. Linda tells George that she wants to start seeing other guys. George becomes incensed. Later that night he sneaks back to her apartment and goes into her room. He finds a picture of Jesus on her night table. George takes a pen and scribbles "Go to Hell" across the front. When Linda gets home she notices the photo and, suspecting George, calls the police to report it. The cops go over to George's house to get his side of the story. When asked if he wrote "Go to Hell" across the picture of Jesus, George said, "Jesus Christ? I thought that was Dan Fogelberg."
