Have fun...it a riot!...lol
A new chapter in the DieHard story begins. Watch as John McClane faces off against old foes and crosses paths with old friends. From fighting his way to Advance Auto Parts to racing against the clock to install his new DieHard Battery – McClane will stop at nothing, to start his car again.
Wow! What a cool thing to invest in! I’m glad it did well for you. That must have been an exciting time. My cousin used to be a music promoter and, to my utter shock, he said the most difficult and horrible talent he’d worked with was Dolly Parton. I can see Dick Clark being a jerk, though. I guess there was a lot of truth in that old SNL skit where they made fun of his production staff.
Aaaand AUTO Zone has curbside pickup! Order on line, pay for it, and go to a local store of your choice and get it brought out to your vehicle. McClane could do such a stealthy pick up ...
Southwest Airlines must have made a fortune on me since I flew up there every couple months for years.
Interesting fact: Doormen are a big turnover at nightclubs, so when I showed up go to the front of the line and grab the door handle, a new doorman who didn't recognize me blocked me and motion me to the back of the line. I'd tell the newbies I'm an owner and please check with the club manager. Marshall would tell them I was a partner with Dick Clark and one the poor doorman was so apologetic I thought his testicles would draw up his body. I told him, no problem, ask his name and thank him for doing his job, while he kept apologizing.
Kinda cool to have that much influence but never took advantage of my position, even though some of the waitresses would flirt and ask if I'll be there at closing time (4am). I knew better than to mix business with pleasure. That's a lawsuit in waiting. I would just stand around shoot the shit with the guests.
I liked it. 3rd was my least favorite.
I too will look fir you next time I watch it.
It was just beyond cool. I'd have to go through old photos to tell you what else was hanging on the walls and overhead. All from the artists, themselves. Dick had a really large guarded warehouse for his memorabilia. Think how many careers that man launched from his TV show. I wonder what happened to all that and his estate. Guess I'll google some day.
That's why he had a line out the door for some years until a club opened around the block that had 3 levels with 3 different themes. No genuine historic items, but he had a great decorator and eventually put us out of business. Club goers are always looking for the new thing. Fantastic while it lasted,.
Thank you for sharing that! What a great time that must have been. I can appreciative your good service attitude and respect for your staff. I grew up working in the private country club industry and most of the managers and the finest members had your generous and mature leadership. It was infectious and I’ll bet many on your staff carried that with them into other jobs- as I did! Would be fun to see some old pics of your place!
Ha ha! Thank you, but that's a couple hours of your life that I hope you never waste. 😊 HOWEVER, if you catch a rerun of the very last PERRY MASON episode, I play "Eddie". Fun memories.
