RIP Robin Williams

Rest in Peace Mr. Keating...

I think he was bipolar and definately has had problems with substance abuse and alcoholism but an amazing mind fast as a whip. This goes way back but he used to do a show called "Mork and Mindy" and they did the outside scenes (and it took place) where I grew up. He would show up at local clubs and do free shows while he was in town. People still go to vist the "Mork and Mindy" house (though not many these days- yes, it really was on Pine Street- the TV location). He was a big cycling fan and was often seen at the Tour de France. For the movie "Good Morning Vietnam" where he played a radio DJ they had a script but that went out the window when Williams showed up. He could go on for hours just ad-libing so they just let him go- shot hours of footage and edited him down. Jonathan Winters was his inspiration at improvisational comedy. Winters had a show with a stage full of props and would pick up one item and do a bit for several minutes just based on that.

Remember him on some talk show a long time ago. Soon after his first son was born.
"Kids are amazing. They really change your life. I had to quit drinking. You really can't come home and say "here's a switch- daddy is throwing up on you!"
