Great article! Writing is superb.

I kinda knew who it was. Not many alive these days at 95.

Good story, good read.

What these men accomplished to stay alive is truly incredible.

To me, Clint Eastwood will always be Rowdy Yates.

Ironically the wife and I were watching an Eastwood movie last night.

Got curious and looked it up.

We were shocked to discover he’s 95.

It seems like only yesterday he was mocking obama as an empty suit at the RNC.

BTW, the movie we were watching was The Gauntlet......and Sondra Locke’s acting (RIP).... hasn’t improved.

It’s a heck of a story. I have enjoyed most of Eastwood’s films, and he has only gotten better as a director as he has aged. But I’m also reminded of what a former colleague said of him: if they ever held a reunion for all the people Clint has screwed over in this business, it would have to be held in the LA Colosseum.

My favorite Clint Eastwood movie is “Pale Rider”.

A young girl prays for help for her family, a man of questionable character is given a chance to redeem himself.

I saw Clint Eastwood ski at Heavenly Ski Resort, Lake Tahoe, during a celebrity ski event in the late 1970s. William Shatner, now age 93, was there too. Neither got the huge applause you would normally expect from being big stars.

Bad lessons from famous routines:

Paul Harvey's The Rest of the Story. No, you do not have to wander around for ten minutes before getting to the point of the story.. Most of the items in that story would have been interesting even if he was named as Clint Eastwood in the first sentence rather than using a childhood nickname to the end.

David Letterman's Top Ten List. No, every list of items does not have to be counted down from ten. You are neither NASA nor Letterman. Start at one and count forwards.

My local radio station (and probably most others). Not every story needs a news tease at the start of three minutes of commercials and traffic reports before you tell the news story that was shorter than the tease. If I was interested, I searched for it on the internet and found your info long before you came back from commercial.
