Being that Bernie is as straight as an arrow, I wonder how he felt being saddled with such a gay name like "Brown Dirt Cowboy."

What about The Unknown Comic?

He's largely unknown today.

Elton has frequently remarked that Bernie's "straight perspective on love" was a key factor in breaking him into the mainstream.

Bernie wrote the lyrics. Methinks he's a poofer too.

"Billy Jack" is now a cheesy 70's movie classic. So bad and stupid it's good.

If they are "good old days" then you must have a selective memory.

No frisking I think he could tell I would have liked it. He was a real hard ass. I was only doing 75 in a 50. No sense of humor.

Yes, they were the good old days to me. I was young, pretty and single and Atlanta was really hopping.
