James Best. aka Roscoe P Coltrane from Dukes of Hazzard

It's crazy that "The Dukes of Hazzard" debuted in 1979. I remember being super excited to watch it. I remember going to my best friend's house to watch it. I remember being in love with Catherine Bach.

 

I was seven.

 

Sometimes I think about just how much I remember from my childhood, and I think part of the reason is that having fewer options for entertainment created a more communal feel to things like TV, movies, and music because we were all consuming the same stuff.

 

Anyway, RIP Rosco. Take a seat at the bar of the big Boar's Nest in the sky.

Bears losses weren't so difficult to take listening to him and OB go nuts. From what I have been told, Buffone was a really nice guy.

I met him years ago when I worked in an Emergency room. He brought his son in and he was very gracious even under conditions like that.

When Star Trek cast members die, do they put them in red shirts?

Yeah, I saw on Facebook where someone erroneously posted that BB King died and then they posted a picture and the picture wasn't even right. The picture was actually Albert King. LOL, that was all messed up.
