john Candy to me seemed like the most awesome guy in the celebrity world except for me , which was Phil Mcormick (sp?) whom I'm guessing no one has ever heard of. He sang for the band Molly Hatchet for 25 years. Probably saw him 10 times and he was awesome. We partied 2 or 3 times years ago, both sober at the time. In Muskegon , Mi one night, go back to his hotel room, he asked at front desk "where can I get the greasiest, biggest pizza delivered?'' , so the front desk hands him a card. We get to the room he orders the pizza, and it was a run around. " I don't give a shit, the biggest greasiet shit you've got , just get it here , I just was at LC walker arena performing..." so , pizza is ordered. So Phil says "I have to get out of these clothes and wash my hair" so he goes in the bathroom , he was still all sweaty and what not. About 2500 people showed and for a USA show, that was great. So he comes out of the bathroom in a wife beater and boxer shorts, flops down on the bed and scrathes his balls and dick ( thru the boxer shorts) and he asked "you're not uncomfortable are you with me dressed like this ?" I was "not really but it depends what you've got in mind next" . "You're not gay are you? I don't swing that way. I have to call my girlfriend". We just laughed our asses off, "No I'm not gay " "just bullshitting you Jasdspif" so He calls his woman and there's a knock on the hotel room door, as he's on the phone, so I open the door and there's 2 guys witha 5 feet diameter pizza. I think it was $127 . I was "what the fuck" "this is for Phil... we laughed our asses off, chowed down on pizza , I think I had one slice and Phil had 2, we had a great night. Talked alot about Elvis , howard Hughes, and Phil's brother . who was still missing in action from vietnam. He was aclass act. years later and some years ago hatchet got a new singer, and it was reported Phil died, but no word from band , but since then I did read he got fired after 25 years and from what I read he may have went out with a self imposed drug overdose , but that is the only thing I've ever heard, I've never seen any report from molly hatchet.
But all these towel heads, I want all that shit stopped. I went to the grocery store the other day and I'm in rural area and there were maybe 20 of the towel heads outside taco bell and one of them was squatting and pissing, I just thought " I guess that's the future of America" . I love America, and I know , one can find fault, but I wouldn't move even if I had the money to do so, but I feel all the towel heads may have stronger allegiance to their own country, than to USA, and to me that just seems like a "bad recipe"
jsdspif, as always "passes the stick.
P.S. I'd like to have Ted Nugent deal with all those motherfuckers, right, wrong , or indifferent, I'd agree to his judgement. I'm getting ready to see him in a 1200 person facility and I have pit tickets. He still fuckin' "blows the balls off at a charging rhino at 60 paces" he's the man and he's got a plan for all the towel heads and Iran. "a huge parking lot!" End of discussion.

"Flirtin' With Disaster" is a great tune. Hope this helps.
I can sing it just like Phil. It's one of the 4 or 5 voices i can "do".

I do him too, my kid used to say "cut that shit out!" I can carry a tune. I was the only person to be selected into select choir when I was in 9th grade. we did the musical finians rainbow and I and 2 other dudes were in blackface makeup. I'm sure today that would draw protests. I gave a big long speech for my part and it ended with "and that's how they begat!" got a huge pop from the audience. Phil was a class act. I had just read a biography about howard hughes at the time and I told him I'd bring the book to him the next time I came to a show, so I went to pine knob in detroit , hatchet opened for hank willimas jr. and I just asked a guard if he could contact phil for me and the guy did it and over a walkie talkie I can hear phil in the backgound "bring his ass in here" so hopped in a golf cart and away we went. The next show I saw when he saw me he said "there's my best buddy, that book was the best read I've had in a long time, this ones for you it's called the journey" because he knew I had about a 3 hour drive to get there. Just total class act.

I love that film, Canadian Bacon. My two favorite scenes are when the bike cop played by Dan Aykroyd pulls over their truck and makes them translate all the hate slogans into French, and when they're at the hockey game and John Candy complains about Canadian beer into a huge fight. Honorable mention goes to Steven Wright as the border Mountie. Such a great film!

Sad bit was this was Candy's last released film. He had such a future.
