EVEL KNIEVEL

The Snake River canyon jump was something beyond comprehension for a child. There's this motorcycle guy who's not only fearless but "unbreakable." He wears a cape like a super-hero, has his own line of action figures and toy stunt bikes and now he has a rocket car that 's going to launch him across what I thought was the Grand Canyon? HOLY GOD!


I think I started writing "Dear (Dare) Devil" and erased it to Evel Knievel. It's funny how the world looks to a little kid.
