I grew up watching and listening to Richard Lewis. He was a funny man and I have nothing but funny and good memories from him. He was definitely part of the “good times and good years” that I grew up with and made me a better person.

Nope. This is the 1st time I've heard a second that song. Also, before algorithms, marketing agencies did the same thing. We have always been manipulated in this way.
