Public Television is pretty awesome.

This man was terminally sweet.

Mister Rogers

I always get mad when people say he was "creepy".
You were too good for this dumb Earth, Fred.

What a nice man.

Mr. Rogers was great and this is great. If I'm ever stupid enough to have kids, I'm bummed they'll never get to really experience this dude like I did.

mr. rogers is an insta-five

NO I DIDN'T CRY DURING THE MR. ROGERS SAYS GOODBYE VIDEO WHY WOULD YOU ACCUSE ME OF THAT *bawls and runs away*

I get the same feelings watching this that I do for departed family.

5 stars.

fighting tears. I'm sitting here. I got the news before I was blasted. I proceed to rail, loudly, scaring my housemates. Several cries of "FUCKING HELL, NO" echoed in the house.

After that... I drank. I fought back tears. I tried, try, to convince myself that it's a drunken hallucination. I can't believe it, honestly. I knew he was old. I knew he would die soon. But it's him, Him, Fred Rogers. I can't think straight. I'll buy his video cassettes, once more. Give them out, convince others to hear what he had to say.

All I can do. to honor what he said, stood for, and wrote.

fuck.

Best

I love that this remix was actually done and released by people at PBS.
