RIP Johnny
He was scheduled to play here locally in December at the Tupelo Music Hall, a very small venue. He had played there a couple of times over the past few years. I received an email announcing the show the day before he died.

Re: He's dead, Jim.
Maverick was a very clever show that occasionally parodied westerns. They did an episode entitled Pistol Puff, which was a send up of Gun Smoke. Younger posters may not remember the prevalence of western shows on TV in those days and how many of the series were produced by Warner Bros. for ABC.

Garner got off one of my all time favorite speeches in The Americanization of Emily in response to priggish Julie Andrews' disapproval of Americans.
"You American haters bore me to tears, Ms. Barham. I've dealt with Europeans all my life. I know all about us parvenus from the States who come over here and race around your old Cathedral towns with our cameras and Coca-cola bottles... Brawl in your pubs, paw at your women, and act like we own the world. We over-tip, we talk too loud, we think we can buy anything with a Hershey bar. I've had Germans and Italians tell me how politically ingenuous we are, and perhaps so. But we haven't managed a Hitler or a Mussolini yet. I've had Frenchmen call me a savage because I only took half an hour for lunch. Hell, Ms. Barham, the only reason the French take two hours for lunch is because the service in their restaurants is lousy. The most tedious lot are you British. We crass Americans didn't introduce war into your little island. This war, Ms. Barham to which we Americans are so insensitive, is the result of 2,000 years of European greed, barbarism, superstition, and stupidity. Don't blame it on our Coca-cola bottles. Europe was a going brothel long before we came to town."
Garner was enormously underestimated as an actor. And left a remarkable body of work.

Imdb.com has a good biography of James Garner.
He's been in more enjoyable movies than I remembered. I can picture him in the blue RAF uniform in The Great Escape , with Natalie Wood in Cash McCall , with Sally Field in Murphy's Romance, too many others to mention.

Support Your Local Sheriff-almost too many good lines and bits of dialogue to just post one but one of my favorites-
Joe Danby: I hear you're gonna try and arrest me. You know you don't look near as tough as some of them other sheriffs we've had lately. Particularly that old boy that done run off about an hour and a half after he took the job.
Jason McCullough: Joe, you just make me feel tired all over when you talk like that.
