A great man passed away last Thursday, taken too young by brain cancer, and I am just so sad. So when you're sad, best watch a funny video of the same talented fellow, doing his most hilarious and locally-famous bits for the Northwest Arkansas Gridion Show, as Brother Billy Bob.
Seldom has a parody been as rich. Keep in mind, this was taped probably in the late 80s, contemporary with scandals with Rev. Jimmy Swaggart and Jim and Tammy Faye Baker.
Sort of overshadows the fact that he also went to Washington, D.C. with that other guy from Arkansas, Governor Bill Clinton, doesn't it? But if you want to know about his distinguished career with that stuff, here's an early obituary.
Thanks for the memories. A great guy gone too soon...we miss u Mike
