Buster Keaton

Anybody remember him?

I do. A pioneer, a comic, a stunt man, a director, and a first generation movie actor. I used to love his films as a kid. They were still playing back in the 1950's when I was growing up, but I didn't appreciate the stunts, until I was a little older. This is stuff you had to get right on the first take, because if you didn't, you wouldn't be around for a second.

Incredible man.

Much like live TV. To think there are generations now who will never know what that means.
