There are some actors who seem like they should remain always young. This was one of them. How could he have been 80? Yeah, I know- simple math. Still, though...

Michael J. Pollard, ‘Bonnie and Clyde’ dead at 80

Yeah, the one with all the kids, right? I first saw him in an episode of Lost in Space.

And before that, he did an episode of The Andy Griffith Show.

Recently, I saw Next of Kin for the first time in forever, and he played the hotel clerk, Harold.

I saw him in Little Fauss and Big Halsey - yes, in theaters - and then he kind of...disappeared.

Was he ugly-handsome or handsome-ugly? However that may be, I enjoyed his appearing in a movie; kind of like finding an old wheat penny. RIP.

A friend told me last night that it was Michael J Pollard who thought up the name of the song by Traffic: “The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys”.

quote:


Traffic drummer Jim Capaldi started writing this song in Morocco, where he was getting ready to make a movie called Nevertheless with actor Michael J. Pollard. The film project fell through, but did lead to one of Traffic's best-known songs. Said Capaldi: "Pollard and I would sit around writing lyrics all day, talking about Bob Dylan and the Band, thinking up ridiculous plots for the movie. Before I left Morocco, Pollard wrote in my book 'The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys.' For me, it summed him up. He had this tremendous rebel attitude. He walked around in his cowboy boots, his leather jacket. At the time he was a heavy little dude. It seemed to sum up all the people of that generation who were just rebels. The 'Low Spark,' for me, was the spirit, high-spirited. You know, standing on a street corner. The low rider. The 'Low Spark' meaning that strong undercurrent at the street level."
