  Thank you for all the laughs, Barry. You are a one of a kind and irreplaceable. I'm heartbroken, but happy that we had you here for 89 years. 💚💚💚💚

  I am a 73 year old Aussie. I remember clearly when pictures of Barry appeared on telegraph poles in Newcastle NSW, my home town, in 1962. They were advertising his first solo show A Nice Night’s Entertainment. Driving past these images my mother remarked “He is riske, and probably morally corrupt”. I quietly thought to my 12-year old self, “I want to see him, he sounds interesting”. I remember the 1950s in Australia from my childhood, and now appreciate the cultural insights that drove him. Dame Edna was the pillar of conservative society, God’s police, the Country Women’s Association local Presidents. You had to conform or you were socially rejected. It wasn’t until I bought, and read, his autobiographies that I realised how unique was his aspect and work on the Social History of Australia, and especially conservative Melbourne. His Les Patterson is an authentic portrayal of pompous males building careers in politics and club administration. It has devastated me to know that now we only have his YouTube videos, and DVDs of his two Barry McKenzie movies, to look back on. Go well, Sunny Sam, you will never be forgotten.

  Really interesting to see and listen to his younger sister.  I think Sandy Stone is my favorite character, he brings a tear to my eye sometimes...  I reckon more than a few Australians would be happy to have those post War II parochial days gone by back now.
