Michael Parks Interview 08' PART 2

[@tukidream]

Thanks for putting this up.I think the adds give context to the interview.I watched this show as a lonely 15 yr old boy and I was in awe of Bronson and his life on the road,so sad when the series ended.Very glad to here Michael speaking fondly of this time.He was and is a great actor.

Feb 1969 i left a teaching job in Alabama, took a dock job in Chicago, Teamsters local 710. Spent 18 mos in Chicago, Cicero, great adventure. Loved this series

[@superbeep53]

The thing i liked about T.C.B was the freedom and simple way of life he portrayed.Theres no other actor that could have done a better job,His words were well thought out and to the point.CHEERS MICHAEL PARKS.

I will really be doing this not playing I am. Will be on my rig ( what you call a motorcycle and side car together) for about a year. I remember this program well when I was 14 and 15. Every week my eyes where glued to the TV to watch this program.

When the series ended, MP rode his bike across the country for a break, in typical Bronson fashion. My buddy and I were in a restaurant in Highlands, NC drinking coffee and a guy came in and had a sandwich. He looked just like MP (We were big fans), and he freaked us out when he picked up a helmet and left. We wen to the window and there was the HD with the pyramid eye! We had to decide it was a guy who looked like him trading on his image.

I can see why Michael demanded so many locations, as the series revolved around a man trying to find himself as he traveled through the USA, Canada, & Mexico. The only shame was that the series did not last long enough.

great interview. coolest dude. coolin' soup is a great album

[@thmoorer]

But, later we talked to a guy who worked at the country club and he confirmed it was MP, who had spent a few days there. Jazzed, but bummed, we didn't have the guts to talk to him. He really made that role his own, and he would have been cool even with the Flying Nun on the back of his bike!

[@jpb962]

The coolest!

[@frankflstf]

My favorite show ever I would pretend to be Bronson on my mini bike and when I was 13 on my 250 OSSA Trials bike

[@Agwings1960]

Im still waiting to get the TV series on a DVD set, but its not available

[@sscbkr48]

45th anniversary of the show at Buddy Stubbs in Phoenix, AZ, April 25-27, 2014. Be there. And, hang there.

[@billtex07]

(Replying to self) It was a marvelous display of rebuilt/replica/original Bronson Sportsters ever assembled. uddy was a fantastic hot. Check out his museum. Mind-blowing weekend. Great people, Bronsonites, are.

[@billtex07]

Buddy was a fantastic host.

[@jimpatterson3286]

A Triumph man.Didn't known that. Another reason to like him.Trumps rule.

[@sphinxrising1129]

If anyone knows anything about motor bikes, one would automatically be able to guess a Triumph.

[@jeffreykennedy5956]

Didn't know the bike was orange.

[@BlueRoseRocketBand2]

the rides still sweet! still I like a Harley.

[@MySkinnydip]

Its weird that my generation consider the pyramid with the eye as a negative thing.

[@jamesrogersbush9928]

MySkinnydip It's a Masonic symbol: The all seeing eye.

[@MrSinclair1956]

Obnoxious "deejay" - he needed to SHUT UP and just listen instead of repeatedly butting in.

[@louk231]

My thoughts exactly. Michael was pausing to gather thoughts and the interviewer kept jumping in and discontinuing the answer Michael was still about to give...There is an art to conversation and most people just don't get it !

[@markcorley]

I thought they were both a bit at fault. Michael less so...
