I thought he looked like a cool, kinda hippyish guy. Note, he also sings humorous songs for adults, like "I Saw Polly in a Pornie" and "I Got Stoned and I Missed It"... Those are the ones I'm really waiting for Apple to carry! :) You know, I never thought that, growing up. I thought he looked like a cool, kinda hippyish guy.

Odd, raspy voice too, if I remember right. There's a track of him reading "Sarah Synthia Sylvia Stout" on a Dr. Demento CD. He died of a heart attack in '99. :-( There's a picture of him on <a href="http://www.shelsilverstein.net/">this site</a>. Yeah, he was a pretty odd (looking) guy.

I, too, thought and think his poems are great, but I just noticed the author picture of him a couple years ago: He's a creepy-looking bald guy who I wouldn't be in the least surprised to learn...well, I won't finish that sentence 'cause it's unfair and possibly libelous--but just take a look and I bet you'll see it, too.
