I responded to Mick Mercer's post on it. As a child I used to go with my dad to Evel's brother's house (Nick). There were photos of Evel doing stunts all over Nick's house so he was a figure known to us rather personally growing up. Surprised he lived this long...they certainly arent many like him.

69 is pretty young to go these days but considering his stunts and personal lifestyle i guess he's lucky he lasted!
funny i know someone else who is really close to one of his daughters in law- 6 degrees anyone?

i'm really surpeised at the lack of publicity on his death...though one of the cable channels was showing his biography on saturday, i didn't find out he died until sunday. i'm not a newshound by any means, but i read my AOL headlines every day and figure that rates higher than amy winehouse getting loaded or britney showing her panties or whatever drivel they usually put up there.
