One of my The Facebook friends started posting Lewis Grizzard videos a few nights ago.
Man! Did I ever love Lewis!!!
Odd man...talented writer, worst husband in the history of husbandry, conflicted in MANY, MANY ways, and funny as all get-out.
I snagged this one from a friendly back and forth between a couple of guys that REALLY enjoyed the guy's work.

Heh. OK, I'd never heard the dawg story. But I have NOW.
ReplyDeleteBuck, it's hard to believe that a boy with Georgia roots never heard that one. But...you do not lie, so I believe you.
DeleteI swear...Lewis was a Southern Treasure...a conflicted soul for sure. But, dadgummed funny!
In The Facebook back and forth between me and my friend, he told me that he once saw Lewis perform live at The Strand Theater in Shreveport. I'll try to post the pull quote of the evening that he told me about (gonna be paraphrased).
Lewis asked, "What have you got when you've got a woman with PMS, and ESP? A wicked bitch that knows exactly what you're thinking."
Or something like that...
Dude was funny.

DeleteHeh... I MARRIED that woman. I didn't know Lewis knew her...
Georgia's most famous redneck before Jeff Foxworthy.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, Dave! Man, I miss that guy. He was just a brilliant writer, and such a complex soul, to boot.
