Merry Christmas brother. I hope he is surrounded by those that love him.

Dang! Busey is looking ruuuuufffff. Maybe he did that rehab show a few years too late and the past is catching up to him.

This is your brain.
Gary Busey is your brain on drugs, alcohol and a motorcycle wreck.

Hmmmmm. Coincidentally he was born in Goose Creek TX in 1944. Now he’s 82.
Quote: “The 1988 Accident The Crash: On December 4, 1988, Busey crashed his Harley-Davidson without wearing a helmet and fractured his skull. Brain Damage: The impact and subsequent emergency surgery caused permanent damage, particularly affecting his left frontal lobe, which controls impulse and judgment. Behavioral Changes: Psychiatrists and specialists later noted that the injury weakened his mental filters, leading to his impulsive behavior and eccentric public persona.”

I really enjoyed him as Buddy Holly.

I don’t know which is sadder, him or the person filming that and putting it out into the world.

He was a decent character actor in his day. I think it was in an episode of Gunsmoke where he played a cowboy who broke horses. He got thrown from a horse and hit his head. He died of a brain injury in that episode.

I don't work on January 8th... because that's Elvis' birthday!

I am sending that one out this December !
He has become a very good motorcycle helmet salesman.

He was good in Lethal Weapon as Mr.Joshua.... Point Break with Keanu Reeves, did a great bad guy in Under Siege as Mr. Krill the lunatic XO
Shame this has happened to him

Yet he is still here, nearly 4 decades later. He must have some of those Keith Richards/Willie Nelson genes.

Busey is having fun in that clip. Your sympathy is misplaced.
The man has always been a goofball.
Busey appeared on Letterman several times and my favorite story he told was about his time on his uncle's farm, where his job was to keep Charlie the goat from penetrating the hogs.

I haven’t watched every appearance yet, but I did watch all of the show that included the goat story. He was funny, charming, and appeared to be, not just lucid, but sharp.

He is laughing, but I think he is trying to impart a little wisdom. The geese will let you know they are overhead, or about to be, and you may want to take cover, unless you're into being bombed by loosy-goosey poop.

He's probably pulling our legs, at least partially.
Adam Westing: So much so that this trope could even be renamed after Gary instead. He seems to have no issue whatsoever lustily embracing his eccentric image and mining it for humor.

Cloud Cuckoolander: His public image is most definitely this.

Large Ham: Absolutely. It just isn't a Gary Busey performance if there aren't teethmarks left in the scenery afterwards. Especially when he plays bad guys.

I didn’t watch the clip because it would probably just make me feel bad for him but January 8 is my birthday too! I’m always amazed that so many people know instantly that it’s Elvis’ birthday
