One hit wonder my foot. That is if you only consider the one song that
crossed from country to the POP chart. He had a couple of TV shows, Gobs of top 40 hits and acted in several movies. His last hit I. O. U. written for his mother was a number one. There was a lot to this man who deserves better than to be called A One Hit Wonder. |

I was fortunate enough to see him speak in person at a Sci-Fi convention (the only one I ever attended) once. There are some advantages in living near a big city. Being able to see famous people in person is one of the biggest ones. Joy |

You must mean a *GREAT* one, the best, finest, most articuate, most inspired, most spiritual, deepest, most perceptive... well, I'm a bit prejudiced! ; He is the one writer who combined the two passions of my life (science fiction and dance) into a trilogy that I have read over and over again: Stardance, Starseed, and Starmind. He is one of the most quoted writer in science fiction - my favorite quote of all time is from him... "If a person who indulges in gluttony is a glutton, and a person who commits a felony is a felon, then God is an iron." It's why you'll sometimes see me write "God is an Iron" when I find something extremely ironic. OK, I could go on for pages and pages, but you get the idea. Hugs CatNipped |

I did not enter science fiction world till viewing Dr. Who some years ago, but your favorite author sounds very talented. My quotes are infrequent and usually consist of "Hi-Yo, Silver! Away!" I might have to explain that one to *you*. Clue: he didn't sing. There was one who did. |

I might have to explain that one to *you*. Clue: he didn't sing. There was one who did. I assume you're speaking about Roy Rogers? Spider Robinson is a master of Puns, irony, and humanistic fantasy. I still giggle when I think of the story about Ralph Von WowWow, in the Crosstime Saloon series. It is one of those series that can be read on so many layers that it can make one want to cluck. Robinson was a disciple of one of my other favorite Science fiction writers, Robert A Heinlein. There is also a paean to him here on USENET, Callahan's. The posts are too fast and furious for me to become a regular, but I coast over there at times when I need a dose of fun and insanity. Bruce, Spider Robinson, R A Heinlein, Piers Anthony, and Esther Freisner's "Chick's N Chain mail" series are, in my not so humble opinion, must reads for anyone discovering Science Fiction and/or Fantasy. One thing I've noticed is that the very best writers tend to be owned by cats. Pam S |
