Life Lived on the Edge of Pasadena
Slapping the monkey paid well for Scott. He owned a string of championship saddlebreds and god knows (hah!) what else. He’s dead, right?
How strange!!! Was he really a Pastor?
Oooh, that’s a reason never to watch TV at all.
That guy just scared the everloving merd out of me.
I remember seeing this guy on TV late at night in the 80s. My roommate and I would come home after a party and sit in our PJs watching him smoke and rant, all in a tight close-up shot. He was great fun to watch after a few drinks… though I don’t think that was his intention. ;-)
“19th century confederate posing with Harvard Law degree on drugs” – that’s what my better half says. I just say bleech.
When he was alive, I’d often see him hanging out by the pool at the (previously) Ritz Carlton in Pasadena. He was there with his secretary, a stack of books and papers and his ever-present cigars.
