R.I.P. Evel Knievel
Evel Knievel has passed on.
I was never a big fan of his stunts or his personality. He was an interesting character, to be sure, and his personal story is unusual to say the least. I remember watching George Hamilton's portrayal with amusement.
Whatever you may think of him, he led an interesting life. The outlaw image combined with the death-defying attitude (and good old-fashioned salesmanship) created a mystique that propelled him to national icon status - and even if he had faded into partial obscurity over the years, there have been few, if any, challengers since.
Rest In Peace.
