That article if from ten years ago, my man. he's been dead a long time.

Lol.

Is he as dead as Francisco Franco? I think not. LOL.

Well....he still dead.

Until you wake up one morning and find your reality has shifted to an alternate universe where he's still alive. I swear both Hal Holbrook and Jim Nabors were long dead, but nope, they're alive again.

I am very comfortable with Hal Holbrook remaining amongst us, in whatever undead state he may enjoy. Gomer Pyle, not so much.

I only just found out that Gomer is gay.

The new theory is that Jon Benet Ramsey is Katy Perry all growed up....mostly.

In case you missed it, so was Liberace.

But Goober was a player!

I always looked at Otis the drunk as a pretty cool dude.

Rock Hudson floored me.

Breathe, Mr. Furley! Breathe!

When I found out that Grandpa Walton was a big time fag, it floored me.

I had a grade 8 lesbo french teacher. This was when kids still called eachother fag. She chided us and told us Rock Hudson was gay. Fag rumours are usually true.
Raymond Burr was the one that surprised me. And my older punk rock friend said he saw James Arness in a fag bar in NYC way back in the day...shirtless and boogeying with the dudes.

Jim Nabors grew his hair longish in the 70s so that his lover could yank his head back with it as Jim was fucked in his butt. I read that in 'Hollywood Babylon'.
