Just listened to the BBC Radio doc on Dean, and both Eartha Kitt and Alec Guinness thought bad things would happen to him if he ever drove it.

Kitt said that he who die in the new car as Dean drove her around in it when she came to LA.

She had no idea why she said that as Dean was not driving in any way that would cause her to think it.

And Guinness was shown the car and told Dean not to get in it - Dean had just bought it and hadn't driven it yet - as he felt if he did, he'd be dead in a week.


If ANYone could have felt a disturbance in the Force, it's Alec Guinness. I can see the conversation now:
*waves hand subtly* "This is not the Porsche you're looking for."

James Dean, James Dean, I know just what you mean.
James Dean, you said it all so clean
and I know my life would look alright
if I could see it on the silver screen.

You were the low down rebel if there ever was
even if you had no'cause.
James Dean, you said it all so clean

We'll talk about a low-down bad refrigerator,
you were just too cool for school.
Sock hop, soda pop, basketball and auto shop,
the only thing that got you off was breakin' all the rules.

James Dean, James Dean, so hungry and so lean.

Little James Dean up on the screen
wond'rin' who he might be.
Along came a Spyder, picked up a rider,
took him down the road to eternity.

James Dean, James Dean, you bought it sight unseen.

Yeah, he was a stud, like half a century ago.

This farker has a question: Would it appear gay to have a James Dean poster in my dorm room? Keep in mind it would fit in with the Beatnik theme I have already established.

Two pointless bits of trivia:

James Dean's two front teeth were false.

He shared something in common with Mikhail Gorbachev: In his younger days he drove a farming combine (at least according to the folks I spoke with at the James Dean Museum)

Does anyone think "Rebel Without A Cause" would still be held in high regard if James Dean hadn't died young?

I saw it for the first time recently and was very disappointed. It just seemed half-baked and pointless.
 
2005-09-30 11:56:56 AM
James Dean, only 3 movies to make a legend. Whether they hold up over time or not he will always be that icon. Personally, I still love those old flicks, especially Rebel.

Dude couldn't drive worth crap but he made dam good sausages.

Thank God for middle class American pop culture - where else would a short, whining Marlon Brando clone be idolized 50 years after his death...

dittybopper: When the Jimmy Dean is dead, Magua will eat his patties. Before he dies, Magua will put his links in the frying pan, so the Jimmy Dean will know his sausage is wiped out forever.


You owe me a new keyboard!

/I LOVE that movie!

Your inflammatory post is killing us! I know, you're just trying to keep the Jimmy isn't James thread alive. That, or you just can't read, or won't, or don't care about reading. Or, just like sausage and don't give a fark about anything anyone else is saying. I'm not falling into you sinister trap! No, I'm not going to take more derision of Farkers by stating or restating the obvious. It's too dreadful .. ugh.. ok, I'll say it.. again... Jimmy isn't James! There, I've done it. You satisfied now? Bring it on!

Jimmy Dean IS NOT James Dean!

James Dean never made sausage. I met Jimmy Dean back in 1970's when he was looking for an advertising company for his sausage firm. My Dad, who owned an agency, had him over to our house for dinner (no sausage).

"He became best known for his 1961 song "Big Bad John" that went to No.1 on the Billboard charts. The song won Dean the 1962 Grammy Award for Best Country & Western Recording. He had several more Top 40 songs including a Top 10 in 1962 with "PT 109", a song in honor of PT-109 and John F. Kennedy. In the early 1960s he also hosted the Tonight Show on occasion and one night introduced Roy Clark, with whom he'd remained friendly, to a wider audience, something that helped Clark enhance his career."


Thank you.. I'm surprised it took someone that long to say it.

His cousin changed his name and carried on the sercet family recipe of 11 herbs and spicies after his suasage overdose gave him the shiats and he drove to fast to get to the next crapper down the road and crashed...it's common knowledge bro....i read on the internet.

Geez.. I didn't know that! Thank goodness we have the Internets to clear this up!
 
2005-09-30 01:37:13 PM
OK...I'm gonna clear this up for good.

James Dean is that dude that was running for president. He was gonna spread his sausage to Iowa, Nebraska, Washington State and then the White House!
AAAARRRRGGGHHHH!

/Somebody beat him to it at the white house

What a pussy his movies sucked and he couldnt drive for shiat.
 
2005-09-30 01:42:37 PM
If you think "Rebel Without a Cause" was vapid and empty, try "Easy Rider". Good G-d, what a dismal piece of trite crap that movie was...even without James Dean.

In a tv doc on James Dean I saw mentioned that he went down on a couple of suasages. Maybe that's why people confuse the two or maybe no one confuses the two and are just making the funny.

/I vote for making the funny

It's sort of eery when you drive on Hwy 46 east of Paso Robles, Ca. where he crashed. It's out in the middle of no where.

I always thought he looked a little effeminate in the sausage commercials...but I'm guessing it was just funeral parlor wax.
