A great controversy is brewing in the the city of Pittsburgh, and no, it has nothing to do with my Bengals beating up Dino’s Steelers. In fact, this could eclipse even that emotional defeat! The Steel City has an injustice on its hands that deserves to be quieted immediately. They have turned their native son and one of children television’s icons…Mr. Rogers…posthumously into a mud monster statue for eternity! How did this happen? The depiction is not the gentle, shoe-wearing, cardigan-changing, soft-spoken children’s television icon we grew up comforted by each day. And this is the best they could do for the man? I have made sand drizzle sculptures on the beach that looked more flattering! What a shame.  The family seemed OK after the fact…but what do you do? You can’t criticize a free public tribute to your loved one. So, there it sits, in it’s “Monster from the Black Lagoon”, glory, for all to see. See if you agree? It’s not such a “wonderful day in the neighborhood”, Mr. Rogers. So Sorry!

(”Apparently King Friday has no say in what takes place outside of the “Land of Make Believe”, or he would have put a stop to this!”)!
