I guess I'm adding a real sour note to all this. The man was a fine entertainer. There's no escaping that and I applaud him for his talents.
BUT, my sons company recently relocated him and his family to Penna. My son is very intelligent, an ex-bull rider, team roper and saddle bronc rider, has a fine education and is what you would call a man's man.
His wife is lovely, a graduate of St. Thomas in Houston with a 4.0 average from one of the toughest schools in our Country.
Their ten year old daughter is one of the most beautiful children you've ever seen in your life and you would be delighted with her impeccable manners and high degree of intelligence.
They have everything going for them, the whole American dream, and they've worked extremely hard to get it.
They don't deserve to have to go out there and die on our highways for a drunk entertainers (or anybody else's) fun night on the town.
