   Who among us did not go ride our Stingray bike off a ramp into a tree and pretend to get injured while pretending to be Evel? here was a man with the audacity to dress up like a superhero complete with cape and actually fly. Evel really was a superhero.

   Hey brad, when did you find EK was a raving bigot? You didn’t? Takes some of the shine off this apple, huh?

   Yesterday I just happened to run into a hot live version of Roger Mcguinn tune

   … Seems like Mcguinn wrote a Evel Kneivel esque (2:37) tune … well, kinda sorta

   it’s got a jump in it … I’ll just leave the rest up to your own interpretation.

   … and to my friend Chris F. R. 1949 – 2007 RIP

    A great tribute would be a gang of modern motorcyle jumpers dressed in his Captain America clothes and cape to jump over a pile of electronic voting machines set a blaze in the center area to mark the abolishment of their use in US elections. Used effective by bastards of the big corporate machine over and over and over to easily steal elections of the people at the click of a mouse.
