Dr. Cranky Posted February 5, 2012 Author Posted February 5, 2012 Wayne, your expression in the Brando picture is priceless. It's almost as if you had just heard about some plot to leave a horse on someone's bed! :lol:
1320wayne Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 It seems like I'm always on the wrong side of the camera so it's my wife that gets all the glory.
FASTBACK340 Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Funny, as much as Amy loves motorcycles and some of the builders, she forbids me from owning one while we live in the NYC area.....
Dr. Cranky Posted February 5, 2012 Author Posted February 5, 2012 That last pictures reminds me of Mr. Lane. Is he out of prison already?
FASTBACK340 Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 That picture was pre-prison. It was taken in `06
MikeMc Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 I've met Two of my idols.....heres one... And met Doug Wolfgang after his Fire...Got this after a wonderfull meet in his Motorhome
Dr. Cranky Posted February 5, 2012 Author Posted February 5, 2012 (edited) That picture was pre-prison. It was taken in `06 Yeah, I thought so. I think Billy ended up cutting his hair and cleaning up before he went up to see the judge. Wasn't his sentence something like 12 years? Edited February 5, 2012 by Dr. Cranky
Mercman Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 One more post on this from my. I got to meet this gentleman before a concert one night. Really a nice guy. And finally the most famous guy I have ever known. My Dad. May he RIP, I sure miss him. It was him who decided I needed a hobby before I was a year old. He built one of the old Hi-way Pioneer cars for me. This was the only model he ever built. I still have it today.
Dr. Cranky Posted February 5, 2012 Author Posted February 5, 2012 That's a great memory model, Mercman, and you are lucky to still have it in your collection. That's Randy Travis, right?
Mercman Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Yep that's him He said he liked my boots. They are western style with FLAMES. Yeah the car still resides today.
Agent G Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 (edited) Where was dad a policeman at? G Edited February 5, 2012 by Agent G
Dr. Cranky Posted February 5, 2012 Author Posted February 5, 2012 LOL, Steve, I hope you both didn't get kidnapped by UFOs! Actually, I like everything UFO, Area-51, etc, and certainly Mr. Friedman has been at the forefront for quite a while. I'm reading a book called DREAMLAND right now about Area 51. Of course, having said that I hope we are talking about the same Stanton Friedman. LOL!
Dr. Cranky Posted February 5, 2012 Author Posted February 5, 2012 I've seen him on TV in a few shows. He's got one of those easily recognizable faces, you know.

That picture was taken a month before his FIRST DWI in 2006. Later in the year he killed that motorcyclist while drunk. He was sentenced to 6 yrs. What an idiot....

YEARS ago I knew a guy whom did alien abduction investigations with Bud Hopkins. He also did some limited work with Whitney Schreiber. The stories he had.....
Dr. Cranky Posted February 5, 2012 Author Posted February 5, 2012 John, it's one of my many "strange" addictions!
Agent G Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Strange or not here's some of the UFO related places I've visited. Roswell NM Rachel NV I won't even get started on my extensive ghost hunting albums. G

He was a larger than life Hero to me ..I'll never forget it. sadly no photos Living In Nashville I've met quite a few celebs and country stars,one of the best was meeting Billy Cox from the Jimi Hendrix Band of Gypsies. I talked with him for about 1/2 hr discussing the hendrix days.
