And somewhere in the darkness ... the Gambler, he broke even.

His restaurants immortalized by Kramer, lol. While some may have panned his music as the epitome of inoffensive countrypolitan, a few of his songs I liked and were that part of listening to the radio (Top 40 or country) back in the ‘80s.

As soon as I saw this news I was reminded of this remarkably non-PC segment of a TV show from years ago:

The Muppet Show: ‘The Gambler’

Can you imagine anyone even dreaming of a scene with an old man smoking, drinking and DYING in a children’s TV show these days??

Odd, a few days ago I felt compelled to listen to this early song of his (and the First Edition):

The First Edition : “Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)”

I’ve loved his music starting from the First Edition. Sorry he’s gone, but his last few years must’ve been rough.

I guess it was his time to fold ‘em.
