John Wayne and Self Defense
This Friday, May 26, will be John Wayne’s 100th birthday, and as it
happens, today is my 51st birthday. I don’t know exactly what the stars
saw in me that made them align to bring my birthday so close to the
Duke’s, but whatever it was, I have to say I sure do like it.
As a kid I didn’t appreciate the Duke as much as I do now. My dad did,
I amember. Onct when we was a talkin bout modern movie making, he told
me that movie stars today couldn’t hold a candle to the Duke.
“Get John Wayne, give ‘im a gun, put ‘im on a horse and you got a
movie.” That’s what he said, and I’ll never fergit it. But at the time, it
just made me laugh. Akind of sarcastic laugh.
Good think the Duke wasn’t around when I was young and I just needed
killin. I needed killin a whole lot way back then–many, many times–but
somehow I made it through.
Today when I think about it, I still laugh, but it’s a different kind
of laugh. Now I understand what my father meant. Too bad he’s not
around anymore to talk movies to.

The ladies holsters are a different matter. That shopping cart does
things automatically, so you WILL BE CHARGED the regular price there, and
we’ll then give you a refund a few days later. The ladies have my word
on that.
I amember my favorite line from a John Wayne movie. From Tall in the
Saddle. The Duke’s talkin to an old man– played by Gabby Hayes, I
think–and the old man is all riled up, and the Duke says something like
“Calm down, old timer.”
“don’t you call me no old timer, you so and so”, or some such he says
to the Duke. And the Duke says, “Hey, calm down, I didn’t mean nuthin by
that. I like old timers. I hope to be one some day.”
Me to.
Happy Birthday, Duke, and thanks, Dad, fer amindin me what good movies
was all about.
Adios, pardner,
