re: RIP Billy "Dog" Brewer

Him and Jackie were so perfect as rivals and both were extremely charismatic and endured by our respective fan bases. I would wager you would like Brewer even more if you met him in person. I got to meet Jackie at a Bonnie Bishop show in Jackson one time at Hal&Mals. Bonnie is a great great musician and step daughter (now adopted daughter) of Jackie. My drummer was playing in her band so I went to see it. I found myself behind enemy lines. Jackie was there. Former players of his were there. Maroon everywhere! But I got to really talk to Jackie a good bit and by God I ended up coming away a big fan of his after hating him as a fan. You couldn't help but like him in person aside from the BS of fandome. Got pics posing with him, Bonnie signed record, (and she's hot), had a blast, and won the party because I was the only rebel there and that's what we do. Bottom line, these coaches are people and they are where, or have been where they are, because they are special people, legendary people, that leave a mark, and are not forgotten.
