Charlie Daniels passed away this morning of a stroke. He was often called the hardest working man in the entertainment business. He has been my favorite singer for decades and I will miss him. I had the opportunity to speak to him three times and it was awesome. The first time I got my picture taken with him. The next time I got it autographed. The third time we talked about patriotism. Two of his songs "What this World Needs is a Few More Rednecks" and "Simple Man" are amongst my all-time favorites. My favorite Charlie moment was listening to him sing "How Great Thou Art" under a beautiful twilight West Virginia sky. Good bye Charlie. You will be missed. The world has lost a great man. I only wish Rosco would have caught you in a speedtrap. I would have loved to see you in the Boar's Nest but I guess you must have outsmarted him. 

We were coming home from the hospital in Erie last night (actually 4:00 in the morning). It's about a 40 minute drive. There's a classic country station (Willie 95.1) way south of Erie that doesn't come in there but as you drive south it starts to come in. I thought about it when I was 15 minutes from home so turned it on. The second I turned the radio on the next song was getting started....The theme to Dukes of Hazzard!.....I couldn't believe it. I listened to it and turned the radio off after it was over to keep it in my head. It was a much needed miracle since I needed a pick me up after a rough sleepless night.

I'm not into horror movies either. I do like scarey movies that have monsters in them but not movies where people are hurting other people. I just saw "The Cabin in the Woods". That was good. So was "The Village". Cabin had monsters but Village didn't. 

Hi.
I actually wasn't though I hope it'll be watchable.

Welcome to HNet, Philip. I'm sure you're aware of the temporary cast changes you can expect in season 5, but you've still got some great episodes to come.

Hi, all.
I'm a newish Dukes of Hazzard fan as I first watched random episodes of the show on TV a few years ago and now I'm watching them in their respective order, so far I'm on Season 4 and really enjoying it.
That said, I'm glad there's this community as the show has been deemed "racist" by the media and so many would rather avoid talking about it even though the boys, Hogg and everyone were never offensive/racist (Hogg and Rosco were corrupt and slimy, but that's their thing).
Bye.

Unfortunately IT already came way back when Dylan Roof went on that killing spree in that SC church in 2015.

Roof had a Rebel Flag, but he wasn't a Dukes' fan, right?
What other folks are saying is that people and even certain media outlets will target the Dukes of Hazzard until it gets banned like other products out there have. You've heard about the Dr. Seuss books, correct? Six of them have been deemed "racist" and apparently, even if someone tries to sell on eBay they'll be removed (I haven't checked though I wouldn't be surprised).
Those who want to cancel everything will eventually be canceled themselves. People around the world are losing freedom and free speech, yet they can't see it.

Good to be here. My dad actually brought me  up on the show.  I was born in 81. About 4 or 5 I started to watch the dukes. By this time Bo N Luke had left for awhile to get there royalties owed. Can t remember what episode it was close to Bo N Luke return. Maybe two to 3 episodes of Coy N Vance left. A security guard was guarding 1 replica of the general. He told me and my dad that the actors were up in a tower ( Oxnard ca). I had also owned two sets of the general lee with Bo n Luke megos. Had Boss hogg and Roscoe too. I can t really say I have a favorite season of the dukes I love them all. I will say S3 Carnival of Thrills , S4 Miss Tri-Counties. Welcome Back Bo N Luke S5 and the pilot 1 armed bandits rank in my favorite episodes. Never met any of the cast members I do follow them on Facebook though. The closest I got beside seeing the General Lee replica. Had to be getting an email response back from Byron Cherry ( Coy Duke himself) don't remember it was something similar to Bo s extravaganza. I'd also like to share that when John Schneider Bo Duke first started out as Bo. My dad's second cousin ( Leslie Gale Mott) dated John for a short time she was making it as an extra I guess.  Her father got to talk to Denver Pyle the most. He also spoke to Tom Wopat , John of course,  Catherine Bach, Rick Hurst, Ben Jones. Sorell and James don't think Sonny Shroyer or Peggy Rea. Possibly Nedra Voltz. Lol yes as we speak I'm rewatching my dvds all 7 seasons and the 2 tv reunion movies. I'm currently on S5 the Coy N Vance episodes.

The day is coming where owning a Dukes DVD will be a criminal offense. I know that sounds crazy but think about it. This is a trend we're seeing. Something in motion stays in motion unless acted on by another force. There is no force powerful enough to stop this trend. This political correct insanity cannot be put back in the bottle. America has spoken. The voters  decided to vote liberals in and they now control everything. This will not end well for people like us. 

With the COTA race called because of rain Hendrick motorsports has now tied Petty Enterprises in 268 Cup series wins. Chase Elliott also gave Chevrolet it's 800th cup series win. Austin Cindric surprised everyone leading the first 5 laps on slicks and maintaining an 8+ second lead before pitting for rain tires. Stage two begun with a several accidents, the biggest when Cole Custer ran into the back of Martin Truex jr who was slow because of hitting Michael McDowell. All driver's walked away with no injury's. They red flagged the race for a while to clean the debris and blow off some of the puddles on the track and to allow teams to Rain X the windshields and back windows. They race restarted on lap 29 and stayed green till lap 54 when it was red flagged for heavy rain. This race ended William Byron's consecutive top 10 streak at 11 races. 
Top 10
1 Chase Elliot
2 Kyle Larson
3 Joey Logano
4 Ross Chastain
5 AJ Allmendinger
6 Chase Briscoe
7 Michael McDowell
8 Alex Bowman
9 Tyler Reddick
10 Kyle Busch
Coca Cola 600 is next Sunday at 6pm eastern on Fox.

Here, borrow mine.

We had the grandkids so it was another busy and fun weekend. They wear us out but they are always fun. This new puppy is wearing us out too. She finally has gotten to a point where she'll sleep through the night. 

As I mentioned above, the Plymouth Fury is completely surrounded by polystyrene and that's within a cardboard box with no windows. I usually keep my models "mint in box", but I decided to carefully open the box just to make sure that the car was in perfect condition.

The light bar is wrapped separately in the top of the box, with the car inside the main packaging. It's quite a weighty model and feels substantial, but it's not up to the detail level of some of my previous purchases. Only the front doors open, so no opening hood with engine, and no trunk. The tires are plastic rather than rubber, and the front wheels don't steer. The graphics look good (although there are no license plates), but I was rather surprised to find the body painted in an off-white. I would even go as far as to say that it's light beige. I was expecting brilliant white. Finally, the window surrounds are painted silver rather than chrome.

Overall, I'd probably give it 7/10. It's the closest diecast replica of Rosco's car that's available in 1:18 scale, but it could've been better (I guess my Authentics General Lee gave me higher expectations). I'm glad that I've added this one to my collection, although I probably won't now be buying the 1975 Coronet.

BTW. There's no mention of the Dukes of Hazzard or Warner Bros. on the box, so you have to look carefully to make sure you have the right model!

Well it looks like the Inaugural COTA race is going to be called early for rain even though they have rain tires. To be honest I hope this is just a one and done deal if officials are just going to park the cars because of rain. From now on just postpone the races to dry days. 

very nice...( I ran out of " Like" reactions!) 

I'll try and catch it during lunch. I think I know how it's going to go and I wouldn't be surprised if John gets villified though. 

They actually have the videos up on their website now https://www.thedoctorstv.com/videos/john-schneider-on-being-unapologetic-about-dukes-of-hazzard 
Love how the lady says she grew up on the Dukes but now won't watch it because of the flag and keeps hammering her point no matter what John says. The other Dr made a good call by ending the interview there as she was just going to keep it up.
Here's the other part of the interview https://www.thedoctorstv.com/videos/dukes-of-hazzards-john-schneider-takes-on-modern-day-bullying
 
I also shared the links on your FB post.

I'd be named Waylon Ocean.

We need to invite this guy to join the HazzardNet. 

Just saw Hank Williams Jr on The View today. Normally I wouldn't watch that kind of show but can't resist seeing Hank. I'm starting to get a little sad because you see less and less of Hank's generation and his style of music on tv anymore. Oh well, it was nice to see it today. I guess my lifestyle is starting to fade into the past.

John Schneider is going to be on The Doctors tomorrow morning. They showed a little clip of it this morning and he was defending the Confederate Flag on the Dukes. I am pleasantly surprised that network TV would give him air time to defend the show. Things like this sure help to get Dukes back on the air. The episode will air Thurday May 20 at 9am EST on ABC. Skipper, please post this on FB. 

I'm big on Christmas music. It's all I ever have in my head for 2 months each year, from mid Nov to mid Jan. 

Great quotes.....I'd laugh but I'm out of my alloted reactions. 

Hmmmm, let me think about that for awhile....
