Ziggy takes the spotlight off GRIZZLY ADAMS

No, no, no, NO. Nobody's been devoting much space to the death of Dan Haggerty aka "Grizzly Adams."

The world is still mourning Anthony Newley Jr.

Especially his cool outfits, his zany make-up, and, oooh, his bisexuality! Mmmmm, yum!

Besides, Bowie was known for Music, Movies and being in bed with Mick Jagger. Dan-Grizzly was known for just two things:

1) He was "Grizzly Adams" for a few years on TV, playing a rugged hero with a bear for a friend.

2) He once told Bill Hoobastank to fuck off: "No, I won't pose with you, you fat-faced grimacing stooge. You smell like a skunk!"

Bill did manage to crawl under Dan's table last year and get somebody to take a free snapshot.

Bill, as always, looks like shit. And that's just looking. But Dan?

As you see from this 2014 photo, he kept up his rather fanciful beard, wore buckskins, and was fortunate that even through his 60's, he still had most of his hair and beard, and didn't quite require Ringo Starr's dye-job technician to work on him.

Dan was humble and willing to go to memorabilia shows. A good-natured All-American TV star from a bygone age, he probably didn't mind hearing: "Hey, I always loved your show. Too bad it only lasted a few seasons. And you pretty much were uh, uh, TYPECAST, and never did much else." Not if somebody put down a $20 bill for an autographed picture.

Poor Bill. He was already delirious having met two obscure actresses who had played in "Petticoat Junction," a singer who was once on "Hee Haw," and a kid actor who had once had his leg humped by "Rin Tin Tin." As he reached Dan's table, his teeth locked on him, and he growled "Fan Faggoty!"

This irked Dan. Bill desperately began to mime "I...have camera...you...and me..." and that's when Dan lost his temper.

But all's well. Bill did manage to get a photo for his collection. And Dan suffered only a mild heart attack, which didn't kill him. Well, not right away.
