So here we are again, looking at another one of our iconic entertainers who has supplied us with great food for the soul over many years, like The Cosby Show, Fat Albert, and movies like “A Piece of the Action”, but what are we to do or to think? Before you answer, check out the interview on the next page, by NPR’s Weekend Edition. Bill Cosby and his wife Camille were being interviewed, and Cosby froze up when interviewer Scott Simon asked him about the “serious allegations raised” about him. Cosby did not reply at all verbally, but simply shook his head.

“You’re shaking your head no,” Simon continued. “I’m in the news business. I have to ask the question. Do you have any response to those charges?”

Cosby shook his head again, and did not reply. Listen to the interview next>>>
