When I was in college, a bunch of stoners and potheads I knew just discovered Mister Rogers for the first time. They went around telling each other, “Man, you gotta see this guy! You won’t believe it, he is so mellow!” Mellow was regarded as a highly-prized quality by these stoners, so they held Mister Rogers in high esteem.
He’s still teaching us, and this is one more phase of how he teaches us. If you just listen, he’s still there in your heart.
It’s all right to feel sad. It’s all right to die. You never go down the drain.
Definitely, Mister Rogers will never go down the drain.
