Jack Webb, Hippie Skullthumper - Jack Webb, the star of Dragnet, died this day in 1982 of a heart attack. But did you know in his early days he hated hippies and communists? I mean this entirely in a good way.
Hm. What is this site? Why does Tommy Lee show up in both the Jack Webb and Joan/John Cusack articles? Didn't Jack Webb make an LP? Did Al Capp ever find true love?
Jocularity!
Wouldn't you like to know...
"Drugs are bad, because if you do drugs, you're a hippie. And hippies suck."
Anybody who actually watched one or more episodes of Dragnet - the 1960's version - would react to this topic with:
"Did Jack Webb hate hippies and communists?"
"Is the Pope Polish?"
"Do Bears Use Charmin In the Woods?"
"Are earthquakes as bad for quaint California small towns as 9-11 was for New York City?"
"Do hippies suck?"
(Actually, I have no first-hand evidence for that last one... must get a research grant...)
I can still sing the march that opened Dragnet.
duh-duh-DUUUUHHHH, duh-duh-Duh-duh-DUUUUHHHH
So, you've hired a hippie...
He was great in The Men.
He was great in The Men.
So good I posted it twice.
