\"Rodney<\/a>CNN<\/i> reports that Rodney Dangerfield died yesterday at the age of 82<\/a>, never recovering from the heart surgery he recently underwent. Although Dangerfield<\/a> was probably best known for his comic catchphrase, “I don’t get no respect,” I will remember him best for his roles in classic movies like Caddyshack<\/i><\/a> and Back To School<\/i><\/a>. At right is his 1980 comedy album No Respect<\/i><\/a>; when I get home, I’ll post an MP3 of one of the tracks that got some airplay. This is truly a sad loss; his larger-than-life personality and brilliant comedic timing will definitely be missed…<\/p>\n

Update:<\/strong> Here’s the MP3 I promised: Rappin’ Rodney<\/i>\u00a0\"MP3<\/a> (6MB MP3 file; get it while you can, as I’m only leaving it on the server for a limited time). I was mistaken about which album this track was from; it’s actually from his 1983 album Rappin’ Rodney<\/i><\/a>. Not exactly a classic, but definitely a great example of bad, dated ‘80s rap. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
