I "discovered" Goodman on YouTube. Ran across a video of him doing the Chicago Cubs song, and was intrigued. I followed up with more videos including ones of Prine, Kristoferson and others recollecting about him and his life story. What an amazing man he was, and very sad he had such a short time to live. But I suppose his knowing that was one of the things that drove him to create so much. That video of him singing an impromptu song about the broken sting really sums up his genius.
