Pedestals of Abalone Shell

“There is a point where feelings go beyond words. I have lost a real friend. My life — and this country — is better for his being in it.” — Robert Redford.

“I was blessed to have know him. The world is better because of him. Sometimes God makes perfect people and Paul Newman was one of them.” — Sally Field.

“He set the bar too high for the rest of us. Not just actors, but all of us.” — George Clooney

“To say he was an extraordinary man would be an understatement. One can say this about very few people, but he was a truly great man” — Sam Mendes

Of the few people in the world that I dare to look up to, and would aspire to be like, Paul Newman is one of them. In memorial of his passing The Live Perfomance Of The Week is Jack Johnson singing “Plastic Jesus.”

I will continue to eat my favorite “Newman’s Own” Pineapple Salsa as a small vestige of a great man’s life. He was an inspiration, a premier humanitarian and one smooth, stylin’ mofo. Anyone up for a double feature movie night of Cool Hand Luke and The Long Hot Summer?

 

“I picture my epitaph: “Here lies Paul Newman, who died a failure because his eyes turned brown.” — Paul Newman
