Tom Laughlin RIP

Yes, even though the Billy Jack movies were borderline campy liberal melodrama, they made a dent in cinematic history of the '70s.

He was 82?...Holy crap!

I managed to avoid those films. My small town Southern Ohio roommate loved them.

I enjoyed the vigilante half-breed hero's films.

He was inspiring to many.

There were a few such movies back in the day that gave me any sort of human rights inklings.

One year shy of their 60th.

People getting married years before I was born and staying together until death are just amazing to me.

Loved "Trial of Billy Jack" ...it was the first time we snuck into an "R" rated movie.....

Sorry. May be cheesy, but I need to play this in honor thereof.
