Andy Kaufman is pure. People who understand him have no choice but to idolize him. People who can't understand him are lost. Christopher Flore I LIKE TO BELIEVE THAT ANDY WAS DIFFERENT FROM US ALL. HE SAW THE WORLD THROUGH HIS EYES AS A MAGICAL PLAYLAND THAT SHOULDNT BE TAKEN FOR GRANTED. HE HAD FUN AND IN RETURN WE HAD FUN WITH HIM TOO. HE WAS MORE THAN ONE PERSON AND I THINK WE SHOULD THINK OF IT AS THAT BECAUSE THERE IS TOO MUCH ABOUT HIM THAT WE CANT HANDLE. AND ANDY KAUFMAN IF UR READING THIS I TIP MY HAT OFF TO YOU. BLUERAIN Kaufman was pure genius. He was the first real Heel in wrestling. Before it was good vs. Evil, and Andy took it to the next level by fighting w/ the fans. He was the first to take real Heat from the crowd, and he played his role perfect. I recomend seeing "Im from Hollywood." and then you can see what im talking about. joe peroney I am one of the great Kaufman admirerers. I don't think anyone feels the same way about Kaufman that I do. I think that his style of entertainment was so groundbreaking, so reality-crossing, so alive, that it can never be dated. I don't think Andy meant for his legacy of self-entertainment to do what it did. I think that his entertainment will never quite be dated. And what I truly hope is that as time passes, as the years pass, as we grow closer to the end of the world, Kaufman and his act never will truly be dated. And when someone mentions "Andy Kaufman," they go: "The sicko?" or "That crazy fuck?" or "That guy in that Jim Carey movie" rather than "Oh, that cute little sweet guy from Taxi"? It was (and probably is) the legacy that Kaufman himself always wanted. See you in the great beyond someday, buddy. "The surfur" Andy Kaufman was the most genius man ALIVE if he was still alive I would marry him in a heart beat!! GOOFIN' ON ELVIS Amy Barrett Andy Kaufman was gone before I was born, but I've seen some of the things that he did and I think he was great. Andy Kaufman is an American Legend and I wish I could've been around to see more of his routines. Mina B Anio a genius,undesputed. Actually dispute that, he wouldnt want it any other way. Lewis MacKinnon Andy was a very eccentric performer who knew how to work his audience for the reactions he wanted... Brian Rodgers I think that Andy Kaufman was a comic genus even though he didn't want to be called that. Even though we don't know the reasons he did what he did, he was still very brilliant. By the way, I need to know what Bob Zmuda looks like. Mhcaston I think andy kaufman is very funny thank you very much name. Garry The movie Man On The Moon has taught me everything I know about Andy, if he was at least half of what they showed, then I believe he was the greatest artist to appear on television. Miguel I saw the movie "man on the moon" Didn't know much about Andy Kaufman. But since seeing the movie, I have understood the type of person he was. And his memory will live on forever. Michael I saw the film 'man on the moon' and was taken back by this mans genius. Later I read some books on him and even now I cant come up with who I think he was. Which is probably the way he intended it all to be. What I am looking for now is footage and highlights of his work. I've seen Taxi, but I want him performing his own work! Richard The "Cookie" episode of Taxi was the only thing I've ever seen that made me wet my pants-- a little. He was a wonderfully strange, talented, and funny individual. Tom Bess I'm only 18,and I think Andy Kaufman is such a genius,I feel JIm Carrey did him no justice.Unlike some young fans,my admiration for Andy didn't come from Man on the Moon,it started with Taxi,then I read the two biographies.Now I have all his tapes that were released,Andy is definately the greatest performer ever.He is simply like I said a genius.His name will live forever. Lenny Andy Kaufman Rules!!! Yeah! Trent Steel It's been almost a year since I became a fan and the feeling is more dazzling than ever. It started with Man on the Moon. I had no idea who the movie was about but was drawn by that compelling song to see it. The lights went out and there I met Mr. Andy Kaufman, finally, for the first time, brought back briefly to life by Jim Carrey. Not knowing any better, I sat there, wishing and hoping and hoping and hoping that he wouldn't die at the end. What I liked most was the scene where he's just this little kid, jumping around like crazy on his bed, putting on his best show for the audience in the wall. After it ended, I went and bought Bill Zehme's book. The plan was to read it, get some answers, and get over the whole thing. It didn't happen. Instead, my little world expanded. Now I share it with Tony Clifton who is a work of art, but underpriced. I only have to think of him to smile. There is Foreign Man, who I guess was always there, waiting for his applause. There are dreams of flying on a trapeze and midnight roller coaster rides. There is fun to be rounded up and a mountain to climb. I read the Huey Williams Story not knowing what I would find there, hoping to find something, but determined to love it no matter what. It swept me away. Do I think he's alive? No, but I believe it, and it really feels like he's out there somewhere still having fun and watching us. Sandra Koehler I think after seeing the film,i think he was a comic genious but the world wasn't ready for his type of humor. Bernard Byrne. Andy lives on. This site rules Christopher Murray This is absolutely wonderful. It's much better than many of the sights I've been to about Andy. He would be proud. :) Lacy Price My name is Miguel and I'm 19, before man in the moon, I did not know who was Andy, and now I know, he was a geniuos; he made the people laught, get angry, even get bored!! and the people love him without care of his stuff, and that's great!. Now I'm one of his biggest fans, I'm angry that I can't met him alive, but the books and some movies touched me with Andy's seal, I love Andy's job, and Zmuda job!! they are the greatest!!! miguel angel morales he's funny matt KAUFMAN RULES TRISTI Andy kaufman was an artistic genius that made the audience think about the feelings thta they should be feeling at that time. He made them explore themselves and gave them gut reactions. anthony continued - pages |
