Happy Birthday Cooter

Have you ever read his book Roger?

Happy 84th birthday Crazy Cooter. The show couldn't have existed without you. After all, nobody else could tow the General Lee into his garage at 1:00 and rebuild the engine, straighten the frame, replace the hood and both front fenders and have it rolling before 5:00....and then take donuts and beer as payment.

It's best to just ignore Ben and focus on Cooter.

Am I missing something? Or do you mean Ben as a person vs his character.

Everybody loves Cooter. When actors make political statements it is best to ignore them. I do get it though. Hobie is not happy with Ben's politics. I respect that. There are actors I have boycotted because of their views on political and social issues but the actors on Dukes of Hazzard are the one exception I'll make. Unless they commit a serious crime, like harming a child, I am just going to ignore their personal life and not let it ruin my love of Hazzard County.

Thanks for letting me know I didn’t know about this. I respect everyone’s opinion as well. If I see actors/singers post political statements I usually try and not let it bother me because it ruins it if you look too much into it when you’re favorite singer or actor is not who you thought they were.
