Yes, I remember Jimmy Dean.
He had some delicious sausage.
How sad..
Good memories of Jimmy Dean growing up.....
Trivia:
He had dropped out of school after the 9th grade.
His family had butchered hogs and he helped. So he knew something about Sausage for his later life. He sold his sausage company later to Sara Lee in 1984. They wanted to appeal to a younger audience they said..
He wrote his song "Big Bad John" in less than two hours.
He lost a puppet made by jim Henson, the creator of the muppets.
A grammy for "Big Bad John"
A clock that had belonged to Prince Charles and Princess Diana.
Celebrity autographed books.
Poster of Dean with Elvis Presley.
Many other prized possessions were lost.
They were all lost in a fire that gutted their home in 2009.
They had recently moved back in the refurbished home.
He had fired Roy Clark for always showing up late..he had a mean streak...
Snoozy..
He had the lead villian role in one of Sean Connerys James Bond movies. The title escapes me.

Those shows were silly but they didn't encourage bad things...made you feel good and laugh. Need some more silly shows...I wonder if Barney is still on?
