Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know [tag]Evel Knievel[/tag] died. Hell, I do live under a rock and even I knew he’d died. (I didn’t know he was still alive, but that’s another matter altogether).
There are the tributes, such as Time’s Appreciation: Evel Knievel, 1938-2007.
There’s the official Evel Knievel website.
There’s the Evel Knievel Discography at Evel Incarnate: The Life and Legend of Evel Knievel, which has way more information than I think you’ll ever need, including a creepy field guide to his injuries.
It’s actually kind of a shame, knowing his failing health, that he didn’t attempt one more amazing jump which would be sure to kill him. Go out in style and all.
Um….in style like Steve Irwin. I’m not one to let bad taste stop me.
Like Bill Hicks’s idea of letting old people be stunt people so they can die with dignity. “Put ’em in the movies!”
