Hate to revive a 13-year old thread, but Phil stood in the trenches and gave everything he had for what he believed in. I think of Phil daily and I know I am not the only one. He is still a beacon in a world of instant gratification and me first. I would like to share my favorite of his verses, it was from the original version of Doesn't Lenny Live Here Anymore. Phil wrote it soon after Lenny Bruce's death in 1966 and performed it for a couple of years until the Rehearsals album was made. Phil introduced it as a study of various levels of depression.

The deep sea diver ignores the shark-skinned warning
And the empty mailbox chews on your hand every morning
The buzzards bend to fly, and you don't know why
And the tears cannot appear so you can cry....

RIP Phil
