IIRC Andy makes his money now via his theater in Branson, MO, where most of his audience would likely agree with his Obama comments :)
I always liked Andy!
I was surprised and pleased to see 2 small “joker” stickers on a stop sign in my very blue city. It was in a part of town that is a bit more ethnic and perhaps culturally conservative. But they still vote overwhelmingly Dem.
I know, I should drive down and see him (I live in St. Louis), but I don’t know, I guess in my schoolgirl heart, I didn’t want to see him grow old. He’ll always be my knight in the beautiful white suit and white bucks. I don’t want to see a bunch of showgirls, I just want to hear him sing, “A Fool Never Learns” again, or “It’s the Holiday Season”. We always get that album out and play it at Christmas. We’ve played it since we were young and raised our son to do the same. “So whoop-de-do and dickory dock and don’t forget to hang up your sock, ‘cause just exactly at twelve o’clock...” and we all finish with an off key, exuberant “HE’LL BE COMIN’ DOWN THE CHIMNEY DOWN!!!!!”
