The Smothers Brothers Today

As readers of these pages know, I love the Smothers Brothers.  In fact, one of the very first record albums I owned as a kid was the Smothers Brothers’ own first album, live At The Purple Onion.  This is a very good report about them today  on, of all places, CBS which famously fired them in 1969.  (Though it’s less remembered that CBS re-hired them for another variety show in 1988.)  This piece comes from CBS Sunday Morning that was aired this past Sunday – it’s an update of a story they ran last year, which I posted at the time.
