I was watching Jimmy Fallon last night and they were talking about Jim Nabors. I thought "geez they were talking like the guy was still alive and he died in the 80s". I had no idea he was still around. Surprise surprise surprise Just some "pop culture" talk, but I wished I was wrong about other pop icons

He has sung "Back Home Again In Indiana" every year before the Indianapolis 500 race, missing only a few times.
He's a really nice guy, a class act in show business.

I remember him being gravely ill, then not remember seeing him ANYWHERE- talk shows, singing, tv specials, etc. But the reason I thought it worth mentioning was that I absolutely loved Gomer Pyle USMC as a kid and as all of our pop icons slowly move onto other pastures- it was kind of nice to hear one was still around. I was kind of eased into it, but if I was watching the Indy opening- I'd probably have done a triple take.

Oh, I agree that Jim Nabors is rarely seen these days and to be honest, I don't know if he has been to Indy in the last few years because of health. I agree that he is a star many might believe gone already.

There seems to be an Andy Griffith Show fan base as extensive as the Beatles fans base...conventions, Mayberry days, podcasts, websites, books and other merchandise...
