He always resurfaces. I know he's been experiencing some health struggles, but I'm feeling confident he'll be regaling us with his tales again in the weeks ahead.

Love that guy.

at another company, that the song "Bertha" was about a very old Edison table fan that was off in a corner that would have a quirky way of jumping around when it warmed up. Because of that, it got named Bertha..

Interviewer: What about Bertha? Is it true she was a fan? An electrical fan?

Robert Hunter: No, this was after the fact.I don't know where that story ... I think they started calling this fan in the office that would run around and try and catch everyone and cut their fingers off. They started calling it Bertha. But no, this is not true. Bertha, I think, is probably some vaguer connotation of birth, death and reincarnation. Cycle of existences, some kind of such nonsense like that. I wouldn't be surprised, but then again, it might not be. I don't remember.
