A powerful message for all of us to contemplate.

Agree or disagree, thought provoking for sure.

RIP.

The "Great Santini" departs.

Another of his movies I really liked was "The Apostle." With Farrah Fawcett, Walton Goggins, Billy Bob Thornton, June Carter Cash, Miranda Richardson, and Billy Joe Shaver.

Jackson was a star athlete (baseball, basketball, football) at Sterling High School in Greenville, SC in the late 1950s.

Got a football scholly to the University of Illinois but ended up at North Carolina A&T. Was reportedly told he wouldn't be in the mix to play QB for the Illini due to his race.

Think Jesse's son Yusef played a little LB for UVA.

Duval's most memorable character to me was in Apocalypse Now.

Next, as Gus in Lonesome Dove.

He was GREAT.

What was his line? "I love the smell of napalm in the morning." Something like that?

Loved "Lnesome Dove."

It's hard to not like that smell.

I don't even know if we still use it or not - but that stuff really could break up a party.

He was a bit creepy - color me shocked.

I don't know about others, but I seem to get a rapid "read" on folks, and it's pretty accurate. Over days, weeks, months, or years - their nature is eventually verified.

I have entered buildings/clubs with say 100 people - and inside thirty seconds - there are two or three of us that have zeroed in on each other. Maybe a nod, even - but we know who's who - even if we've never met nor ever run across each other. Acknowledgement. Nothing more.
