I'm sorry to hear that; if I gave a memorial talk it would involve showing
the Ash Meadows video to art school students I taught who were strangely
enthralled by the video, especially the trampling of crayfish in one scene,
and Tom's ultra-flat-American accent which some of the students thought was
a put-on (this school is outside of Boston, MA). He did good work.
