Chapman was interesting for a lot of reasons, but I am posting this particularly because I just learned about his public memorial service. The surviving Monty Python crew stayed true to form for their friend. Among other silliness and shock humor, John Cleese "became the first person at a televised British memorial service to say 'fuck'." Later, Eric Idle closed his own remarks by saying, "I'd just like to be the last person at this meeting to say 'fuck'."

He did a speaking tour in the mid eighties and I managed to get tickets. He talked for a time and then took audience questions. That was 4 decades ago. Now I feel old.
