"I was just kidding". "I wasnt" "I'll put you out of your misery." "Poor man, he was just too high strung". Some of many memorable lines from my all-time favorite western. Val Kilmer's Doc Holliday steals the show. "That's just my kind of game."
Say when! Also " "that's Frederic f*"*ing Chopin". " Why ike.....How about a spelling bee!?" "I'm right as the mail!" (crashes to the floor). Love that movie!
In 1964, Canadian actor Lorne Greene had an unlikely #1 hit with "Ringo", a haunting monologue about a man who might have caused Johnny's demise. ("A moment later, he lay dead...").
I saw the movie, but always thought that, in some way, he was referring to Huckleberry Finn. As a teacher I kept going back to the book and trying to see the metaphor, but failed. Now I know why. Thank you, Jan, It was a terrific article and I enjoyed it thoroughly.
Jan, are you going to be writing about Robert LeRoy Parker (aka Butch Cassidy) at any time? My Substack will be coming up on the time I found one of his hideouts, and if you're going to be writing about him, I'll be sure to link your post at that time.

You look like someone just walked over your grave.

A post needs to be dedicated to him. I haven't planned one yet. I always remember Cassidy Arch in Capitol Reef.
Interesting. I’ve driven right by Cassidy Arch and never knew it was there!
