Hi Paul! It's great to have someone new to talk to about Andy. Last year when I first came on this board, after seeing the film, a lot of the new Andy fans had much to say about him. Unfortunately since Andy hasn't put out any new material lately, we go through dry spells without saying much, and sometimes get into our personal lives (which I prefer not to on a message board, but sometimes figure, what the hell!)
Yes, Andy certainly was a "piece of work"! After seeing the film on him, I sought out all the stuff I missed and had many many great laughs. I was old enough to know who Andy was, but a teenager going out all the time, rather than sitting home watching Saturday Night Live and Taxi (my great-grandmother was a big Andy fan back in those days - I guess he was a cute young boy to her!)
Anyway, I think you'll like this message board, there are a lot of great people here - some I've even became friends with and talk on the phone to! Unfortunately I don't know where to get his books. I know Holly, who is a regular here has some. I'm sure she'll fill you in
And finally, I don't think Andy is still alive. Maybe some of the others feel differently - so I'm sure you can have a lot of fun discussing that!
