Needless to say I adore Bill Moyers. I adore him like a Joseph Campbell spiritual myth hero. He has enlightened me and turned me on and linked me in to so many interesting people through his journalistic medium...... it's virtually impossible to name the numerous egging ons he's done for the masses of people. By eggings on I mean to look deeper and investigate and ask questions and find out stuff. I could go on and on. I've spotlighted him on my blogsite on his birthday as a homage to him and his profession. All one can do individually, I guess, is to thank people they will never meet or hope to meet with comments such as these. Godspeed to You Bill Moyers. And thank you for being your intrepid "speaking truth to power" self and egging us on. There is not a finer human being alive that is really worthy of this honor.

Bill has gotten only more eloquent since that time. Thank you Bill for helping to keep the fires burning in our collective bellies. As you know, it gets pretty lonely out here sometimes.
