This month marks the 31st anniversary of Andy Kaufmans death. According to Andys comedic partner in crime, Bob Zmuda, they had discussed plans for Andy to return 30 years after hed passed away and expose to the world the truth behind their elaborate hoax. His return is long overdue and I know Im not the only one wondering when and where hell reappear. Maybe David Lettermans final show this Wednesday? Maybe Red Nose Day this Thursday? Maybe SNL this Saturday? Maybe hes that guy on the corner that you always consider and reconsider giving loose change to? Maybe hes actually dead? Maybe not.\r

Kaufman Isnt Dead (Yet)\r
An Original Song \r
by Ben Ruttenburg\r
\r
Kaufman isnt dead \r
Hes just been waiting\r
Staying underground\r
Disguised as a clown\r
\r
He had me fooled for forever\r
I never expected him to take it so far\r
Beyond the moon \r
And into the stars\r
\r
Now you know what your life looks like under 3 hours long\r
Now youve been referenced in an R.E.M. song\r
But most importantly, \r
You done what no one else has ever done before\r
This will be the thing you leave behind\r
When you die\r
Again\r
\r
Kaufman isnt dead\r
Can you believe this?\r
That he would leave us\r
for an elaborate rouse?\r
Are you amused?\r
\r
I wonder what a gut he mustve busted\r
When they trusted\r
That he finally set sail\r
When he returns will he still wrestle females?\r
Or will he go to jail?\r
\r
Andy, its time to come on out \r
Were ready for a laugh\r
Honestly, we wont ask for Latka or Elvis\r
Or any old gag youve done\r
Except Tony Clifton\r
(But that wasnt you)\r
\r
Now youre old and youve lived a life that no one knows about\r
Now you might write a book and tell the whole world how\r
Step by step\r
You did what no one else had ever done before\r
This will be the thing you leave behind\r
When you die\r
Again
