Yeeeahhhh

a cowboys whaaahooo?
hollywood sounded that way
then came clint eastwood

'the unforgiven'
the best western of all time
rawest truths of life

'ah'm here tuh kill you
little bill for what you done
(a slow breath)...yeeeahhhh'

when clint sighed like that
looking down his gun barrel
that meant...'yup, you're dead'

the good guys were bad
that was just a way of life
as now...dawg eat dawg

'feelin' lucky, well, are ya punk?'; 'a man's gotta know his limitations'; I could go on. Watched all Josey Wales, Dirty Harry and all else of Clint's old movies at least 2.5 times, watched them so much they've survived whatever memory eaters time has placed in my brain. Clint should see this, I know he's be proud. CayCay

Clint Eastwood is the invincible cowboy who will never die; I think the movies he has directed are living proof of that. If we hear it is a Clint Eastwood movie, we go. He does not have to star in them any more, but he was terrific as the star, and he is still one tough cowboy!
