When the “Dukes of Hazard” premiered in 1979, we were a little ore excited than most people because mommy’s maiden name was Hogg, she had a brother named Roscoe (who immediately started referring to himself as “Boss Hogg”) and her family was from Whitesburg, Kentucky not far from Hazard, Kentucky.
Speaking of Roscoe. We all called him “Uncle Bill”. He was a character. Many wives. Many kids. Many careers.
But the thing I remember most about him (besides the fact that he had a storage trailer full of dirty magazines) was his “way” with women.
In 1986, I was heading to New Smyrna Beach for the afternoon, and he wanted to go with me. We got to the beach and he stepped into the bathroom to change. He came out wearing nothing but a cowboy hat, cowboy boots, and a black speedo. He then proceeded to walk with me down the beach and in his very low voice would greet every female with “Hello darling”
Every single woman stopped and spoke with him.
On our way back we stopped at a bar in Astor, Florida because he had to see a guy that owed him money but he ended up spending several hours trying to convince me to “court” a very old woman sitting at the end of the bar because she would get us free drinks…
