Do you think guest #2 and guest #4 are the same person?

Hat tip for the use of the word "portmanteau," one of the finer words in the language. As for my column being inaccurate and rubbish, or inaccubish as we say, as commenter "Quint" says...I gave the Cubs brass several chances to tell me the policy, formal or informal, and that was the official statement they had for me. That's what I reported and what I said ought to change.

Just for the record Zorn's article was rubbish and a bit inaccurate. For years the Cubs have quietly let people spread their ashes as long as it is a small group and they keep quiet about it. Goodman dies more than 20 years ago and it is a bit misleading to characterize the Cubs actions then as typical actions now.

After reading the article, I purchased "Facing the Music" immediately...I remember Steve Goodman in those days and still miss him and Bonnie Koloc (of course, she's still around, but not the same!) I'm going out over the Magic Hedge myself.

I'm going on the beach just north of the North Avenue bridge over LSD.

Good to see your post about Steve Goodman. He often doesn't get his due. You might be interested in an eight-year project of mine that has come to fruition -- an 800-page biography of Goodman published in May, "Steve Goodman: Facing the Music." The book delves deeply into the origin of "Go, Cubs, Go" and "A Dying Cub Fan's Last Request." Please check my Internet site below for more info on the book. Just trying to spread the word. Feel free to do the same! Clay Eals 1728 California Ave. S.W. #301 Seattle, WA 98116-1958 (206) 935-7515 (206) 484-8008 ceals@comcast.net http://www.clayeals.com
