Willie was overrated. He made a splash, and was gone. Melted his wings flying too close to the sun, whatever metaphor you wish to use.
I think Jim Lame once recalled meeting Willie at a Tour stop, and said he was the sad, which, pasty guy wearing dark socks with shorts and trying to pretend they were homies.I think Scarence in Sierra Madre once did a parody of Willie doing a parody of Iafrate. Long time ago...15+ years back.
He also didn't help his cause with the "Casper the friendly Ghost" gloss of the Cablinasian.
It wasn't bigoted you fvcking pussies.
Hey Vic in NoPal: do you still measure your self worth by how many Twatter followers you have? Do you still wait in line for an hour on some sports call-in show so you can pretend to be this disaffected dilettante, all the while your mother is screaming down into the basement, telling you to get off the phone, come upstairs and take your Ritalin?
