John Kalafarski Dizzy Dean. The last of his breed: ". . . a hick--but he felt great about himself. . . a happy rube. . . Dizzy was beloved because he represented something which no longer could be seen first-hand on a Sunday drive. People of his ilk dominated television in the 1960s--the Beverly Hillbillies, Green Acres, Gomer Pyle, Petticoat Junction, and Andy Griffith's village of gentle rubes. We watched them because they had been a part of who we were for 150 years, and we missed them." Nice. Now, gang, where is this passage from?
