I only eat hamburgers about twice a year, though so I might have driven right by and not noticed. <br /><br />Many years ago, I was part of a group that was in the Gay Pride Parade.

I guess he'd be called a "bear" in today's gay man world. He had a buddy who always stirring the shit from the sides and bottom of the pot. His radicalism was lost in the sea of strong social causes of the times, but he was noisy and got heard.<br /><br />Is Gourmet Burgers still around? I entered a contest to create a new hamburger and came in second place. It was a ground lamb pattied concoction that might have won if ground lamb patties were available.

I've only known one well, a guy I grew up with, who was horse crazy and rode bulls while still a teen. Got busted up, broken knee and elbow etc, but he actually worked his way thru college in Kingsville Tx, working at the King Ranch for a few years. He wasn't my hero but his wife was. God she was easy on the eyes, smart, personable and she actually became my friend, although I knew better, or maybe I was too moral or too afraid, take your pick, than to become too good a friend. Truthfully it had to be I knew better because of endless complications, not getting beat up or killed, because that never stopped any real man. That or I was too moral which I never claimed to be, but it served my conscious.<br /><br />It occurs to me, that maybe Ray Hill was doing exactly what you appear to have been doing. You met and spent time with him some 50 to 60 times. Most every time you met him, someone introduced him to you as they didn't know weather or not you knew him. When you two were introduced again and again, both of you acted exactly the same, or so it appears to me from the way you describe it. Ray Hill pretended he was meeting you for the first time, and you pretended it was the first time you had met him.. Both of you may have been thinking the same thing. He/She doesn't remember me, so I won't embarrass them by pointing out we've met so many times I can't believe he or she is so dense, . <br /><br />You can be proud of at least three things I can name offhand. First you are writing about a local hero, I've never met Ray but he's much more of a hero than any local celebrity in my opinion (if being in prison, and creating and hosting the Prison Show and his Death Row Appearances etc) qualifies you as a hero. You've had thirty seven comments before this, by some very sharp folks, who never heard of Ray Hill. That's an achievement in my eyes. Second, you've impressed me for around 10 years. I suffer from AADD (Adult Attention Deficit Disorder). Yet you have kept me entertained by impressing me. You don't have to be proud of it but I am and I hope you are. But the main thing you need remember and cherish. The nicest thing anyone said to you, what I wish a few people would have said to me was what your ex said to you., a real complement, I'm dead serious. "I will always cherish the initial misconceptions I had about you." They say you never have a second chance to make a first impression. I think you maxed that test, Might have hurt at the time, but it's a heck of a lot better than some things I've personally heard. Not that they ever hurt because as with jobs, I'd be gone before the fireworks started. <br /><br />You make me want to write. I've got bunches of stories you cause me to remember. Some actually need to be recorded. Maybe next year in Jerusalem, or maybe Mecca, most probably at the Alabama Ice House..You need to finish this please .. <br />Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17091022584776961918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003982716885685057.post-7239414410186727332015-12-04T18:36:22.790-06:002015-12-04T18:36:22.790-06:00Thank you!

There are people who do extraordinary things. But individual acts of bravery, compassion or political courage do not make one a hero - only a person who did the right thing in the moment. No one deserves to carry the mantel or the weight of being labeled a hero. All that said, Pope Francis is pushing the envelope of Red's resistance to ever selecting a personal hero. <br /><br />Of course, Red goes the other way on villainy.

Yes, he might be an exception to this rule. <br /><br />You know, I watched "Selma" the other night, and there's only one very slight reference in the movie to King's adultery. If that man isn't a testament to the incredible works you can do in one very significant respect, while being somewhat sorry in another significant respect, nobody is. <br /><br />It's funny you should say that, because I once seriously gave some thought to what I would do if I ran into one of my favorite musicians (I'm sure I was supposed to be doing something else while I was thinking about this) and the answer I arrived at was something along the lines of "Thanks for all the music." That seems perfectly acceptable to me.
