Speaking of clowns and Hollywood, I've always thought things were out of whack when a guy like Slim Pickens could have a great carreer clowning rodeos but there are many who only think of him as an actor. It always seemed to me it should be a bigger deal to do something in life for real rather than play act like little kids do all the time. Same with Ben Johnson, and I have to say I've enjoyed them both in movies, but play acting in front of a camera seems small compared to what they did before that. -- RODEO RAMBLINGS
