Link I probably don't care for his politics, but the man had such a gentle delivery with regards to them, I don't begrudge him them. His short radio interviews, anecdotes and reminiscences transported me to another place with their imagery, wit and again gentle almost poetic delivery. I rank him with Twain and Keillor although I suppose he would want to be lumped together with Dobie, O. Henry and other famed Texas wits. I did get to meet him once, shake his hand and speak with him for a few minutes. Unfortunately, to my annoyance, he was in character at a large professional conference and wouldn't lose the British accent. As far as I am concerned, he was the heart and soul of an Austin stretching back to the 1800's. Who takes his place?
