Father of Schiller-mania Passes On

Sunday, February 3rd, 2008

John MoltzMorbid, I know, but it is apparently true that John Moltz, the inventor/coiner of “Schillermania” and Phil’s biggest fan is closing the doors of Crazy Apple Rumors. I guess websites have doors. I’m very sad.

The only gift I have to give back for the divine and eternal gift of conception, creation, and birthing bestowed upon this website is this link to the finest piece of CARS merchandise available: the
Schillermania Roadie T-shirt. I only hope that the untold thousands of dollars in profit generated by this generous link placement will not lure old Moldy-Moltzy back to quirky internet publishing. May Schillerworld live on forever.

The picture was taken by John Gruber, who did not in any way authorize it’s use here nor has he been contacted. Click through to view the actual photo at Flickr. Apologies for the unethical and illegal usage.

John was 49 years old.
