A Hard-Partying Lifestyle And A Love For Vice Took You From Us Too Soon, Andy.
Good lord, Smak, you kill me.
I Freely Admit To Gasping First…
…And Then I Nearly Died From Laughter.
Love It, Smak, LOVE IT! hehehehe

He will best be remembered for his autobiographical work as Lonesome Rhodes.
Or was that Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas?
Leave it to Guap to cite the classic film. I’ve never seen that movie, actually, but I’ve heard one famous quote from it–“You’re in bed with me, Larry (I think it’s Larry).” My favorite Griffith role was in the also-classic “Rustler’s Rhapsody.”
I blame Amy Winehouse. He should never have started hanging out with her.
Good thinking. However, an extremely reputable source (Promethean Times) claims she died of old age.
i’m sorry but i think it was the other way round. randy andy vexed poor amy. she never had a chance.
Leave it to PT to set the record straight. But so as to not sound like an ass, I do extend my condolences to his family. No death, whatever the age, is easy. (There, now only you sound like the ass…) 😉
That’s hardly an unfamiliar situation for us, Carrie.
I know.

Thanks, SpamBot, whose comment I approved for shits & giggles. But you’ve done a great service in reminding us of something too often overlooked. Although Andy Griffith was an actor, singer and beloved all-about personage, his greatest single defining factor was his fanatical and unyielding hatred of the Germans.
And I love you, too, promotion site. Oh, BY THE WAY, shut up.
Shocked and Apalled! (He could sing, too – I thought you’d like him)…
Sure, we liked him. How can you NOT like Andy Griffith?
I had not heard that he died of a heroin overdose. At age 86? Mamma mia!
he died at home. most likely under hospice care. though not spoken of and never acknowledged, folks receiving palliative care at home are many times given a “push” with dilaudid, an opium derivative like heroine, rather than spend their last hours in agony. so there is every possibility that his true cause of death was an overdose of opiates.
Well, if your goal was to make us feel bad for making sport of a beloved old man’s death, then MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
