Today is the 80th birthday of the late Fred Rogers.
I wasn't allowed to watch much tv when I was a kid, but Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood was always allowed.
In this big, bad world we live in today, it's nice to be able to remember the simplistic truths of this life. Mr. Rogers likes us just the way we are and if we liked everyone just the way they were, without expectation, maybe the world would be a better place.
So in honor of Mr. Rogers and Sweater Days, here are a few YouTube videos for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy.
Opening Theme Song, "Won't You Be My Neighbor?"
Testifying before the US Senate in 1969 . . .
A rare interview from 1986. . .
This is Mr. McFeely telling us about Sweater Days.
Mr. Rogers' goodbye . . . If you're a true fan of Mr. Rogers, can you really watch this with a dry eye?
And, of course, we can't close this blog post without the traditional closing to Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood, "It's Such A Good Feeling." I gotta add this one to my iPod. Sorry about the crappy video and the thing at the end . . . you gotta take what you can get on YouTube.
