Turns out James Garner is bit of a grumpy guy. He doesn't like a lot of things. He hates Hollywood. He hates agents. He hates producers. He hates California. The list is pretty long and he takes a book to detail it.
But he's got some good anecdotes about his Maverick and Rockford files days. I wanted to get some inside dope about The Great Escape but he didn't have anything big to say, except he didn't think highly of Steve McQueen, who was Garner's neighbor. He did cover his battles with Jack Warner about is contract and he talked about his lawsuit with Universal about Rockford Files residuals. He was also on the mall when MLK gave his "I have a Dream" speech.
The only big shocker for me was his laudatory statements about Marijuana. It turns out Rockford has had his weed card for fifty years.

So much for the flickr badge idea. Dammit
