Mort Sahl,  94

The death of Mort Sahl is being noted in local media because Sahl was born here, although he made his reputation entirely in the United States.

I hadn’t even been aware Mort Sahl was still alive, nor that he was born here. Like Saul Bellow, he left at a young age and never came back, so that – unlike Leonard Cohen or William Shatner – his fame never got entangled with the mythos of Montreal.
