Bum was talking about Sid Gillman and his love of film-watching. One late night, the two of them were watching film, and Phillips was beginning to fall asleep when Gillman startled him awake by saying, "Hey Bum, this is great stuff -- better than sex."
Bum Responded: "Either I don't know how to watch film, Sid, or you don't know how to have sex."
God Bless this man -- they don't make them like this anymore -- what a shame --- he will be missed.
