And there you have it, folks. Didn't think it was possible, but "reigning sex symbol" and "public viewing" have just been used back-to-back. I mean, the guy was a legend, but I'm pretty sure I'm not crazy for thinking that spending a few hours eating cheesesteaks and pretending I'm Sweet Dee would be a better way to spend time in Philly than looking at Teddy Pendergrass' corpse.
