Diomedes writes Yes! i'll never forget her expressions watching the typewriter type everything she is saying.Or the shitshow she gave Hoffman when he admitted to her that he loved the co-star on the TV show in Tootsie.

93 is bonus points. A Eulogy for a well-known figure in the era of records and recording rather than today's streaming.

From Christianity Today:

quote:

---

Tony Campolo frequently started his speeches to Christian audiences by telling them three things.

​

First, he would tell them how many children had died from hunger or malnutrition-related diseases the night before—a number in the tens of thousands.

​

And Campolo would say, “Most of you don’t give a s—.”

​

Then: “What’s worse is that you’re more upset with the fact that I said ‘s—’ than the fact that thousands of kids died last night.”

​

Campolo, a progressive Christian leader who courted controversy challenging evangelicals to see caring for the poor as an integral part of proclaiming the gospel, died on Tuesday. He was 89.

​

Campolo popularized the term red letter Christian—a reference to the way the words of Jesus are printed in many New Testaments—as an alternative to evangelical. He felt an alternative was needed because evangelicals had turned their backs on the good news, embracing right-wing politics and comfortable, middle-class conformity. But the best cure for evangelicalism’s ills, he said, was Jesus.

I have written about Tonys' son, Bart Campolo here on EvC before. Bart had a great Father.
