It’s all this guy’s fault. He’s to blame for Bo, Luke, Cooter, and while we’re laying out charges, we’ll make him responsible for Jessica Simpson too. Maybe it was just all the wood alcohol in the moonshine…

How do you define an American icon? Well, when you have a T.V show, and 2 movies based on the events of your life, that pretty much does it. Jerry (Rushing)defines the word legend. The original ‘good old boy’, life is on his terms, and we’re just along for the ride.

True to Hollywood form, the producers did not give Jerry credit for his contributions. Ultimately he had to sue Warner Brothers for royalties from the eight year long series.

I guess the woman that gave birth to The Matrix is not alone; there are plenty of crazy people out there.

First up, there is the Jerry Rushing/Gy Waldron feud. Waldron, the writer credited for saving One Day at a Time and the guiding force behind “Billionare Boys Club” created the show, and relied heavily on many stories told to him by Rushing, a North Carolina bootlegger in the ’50′s and ’60′s who made an appearance in the Dukes’ third episode as Ace Parker. If you listen to Rushing, many of the show’s characters were taken from his own life. Waldron, however, did meet with 12 bootleggers. I have enjoyed great conversations with both gentlemen. Waldron does admit he used Rushing’s stories, but not to the extent Rushing believes. Rushing claims that Waldron couldn’t sell his stories until meeting with him, and doesn’t respect Waldron’s writing ability. — Amazon review

I know Hollywood is short of original ideas, but stealing even the bad ideas?
