DA: Thank you and happy weekend everyone and welcome to A Few Moments With Dead Celebrities. Today we have a great star of the silver the screen, an American icon, the Duke: John Wayne. JW: Well, hello dead announcer and hi ya folks. DA: John Wayne it’s an honor to have you with us. JW: It’s my pleasure Dead Announcer, Ladies and Gentlemen. DA: John Wayne, you appeared in well over 300 films in your long career on earth. That’s an amazing number of films. How did you do it? JW: Well, I showed up. And God love ‘em, the people liked me. I was fortunate to work with great talented friends like Jack Ford, Henry Hathaway, and Howard Hawks. I was lucky and they were talented. DA: In the sixties you became known as a political “hawk” for your support of the Viet Nam War. Do you regret that stance? JW: No, well, no. I mean, sure a lot of young men went to their early graves because of things I said and did. I understand that a lot of young men thought if John Wayne said something it was true so they went to fight and I stayed in sunny California and fucked them over. But I did make “The Green Berets” for Warner Brothers during that time. DA: Now, Bob Hope entertained in Viet Nam but you never even went on a personal appearance tour. Why is that? JW: A guy could have got killed over there. I felt the same way in World War II. I stayed in sunny California with other great patriots like Ronald Reagan and made movies and fooled around with some pretty ladies and tried a few men too. we were patriotic Americans after all. DA: So, no regrets John Wayne? JW: No. Down here I get to see millions of dead boys that I helped kill, men with half their heads blown off walking around and hanging around all day and all night. It’s my punishment for being a narrow minded conservative and a bigot. But do I regret it? No. A man has to stand by his principals of greed, blood, guts, and a little sex. DA: Thank you Duke Wayne. Join us tomorrow for another dead person on the only bloggy feature that features the dead, A Few Moments With Dead Celebrities. I’m Dead Announcer. Good night. Jim Farris presents Silly Thinking with Douglas Lain. Isn’t this supposed to be funny? Read/Post Comments (0) Previous Entry :: Next Entry Back to Top |
