This is the autobiography of Ben Jones, Cooter from The Dukes of Hazard. I found it interesting, charming, and delightful. It's a quick read of his life in WWII Portsmith, VA through his days of protesting for civil rights in the 60's to his acting and his time in politics and after. He did a lot. I liked reading of history through his eyes especially the civil rights movement and his time in the House of Representatives. He's done and seen a lot. It was also fun as he recalled his days on The Dukes of Hazard and the reunion and nostalgia of the show. I'm glad I read it. (

I finished this book the other day and I found it to be one of the best biographies I have had in a while. I don't want to spoil this book because it is filled with a ot of great information about his life, his career, and the times we are all in.The best line from the book (paraphrased): "...the entire Endowment for the Arts cost one half of one wing of one B2 Bomber." Thanks, Ben for sharing your life story. I expect another volume in a few years time. (

Boy meets bottle, boy loses bottle. Boy meets girl, girl, girl, girl, boy loses girl, girl, girl. Boy finds success on television, boy clings to television fame for many years. (

To Alma

You are all that
There is of life
For me.
All that I want
All that I need.

You are the light of dawn and
The endless night of the silent stars,
Each day with you is a dazzle
Of waterfalls and rainbows, of
Silver moonbeams on the Blue Ridge.

Nature’s royalty bows to your grace,
You, my little country girl.
All that there is of life for me.
