farewell to a titan

years ago when i was really bored i would speculate on the most famous persons ever defined as: the persons seen "live" by the most people for the most hours and i concluded that johnny carson was number one and therefore ed mcmahon was number two yes, ed mcmahon out of tens of billions the second most famous person who ever lived! but time passes and gods look up from their mountains to see newer gods on higher mountains as hank aaron and barry bonds passed babe ruth so oprah and jay leno and dr phil passed johnny and ed goodbye ed thanks for the joy you brought to hundreds of millions for thousands of hours the media say your last days were unhappy but what do they know who have never looked down from the mountain?
