Topic: The 'Godfather' Dies at 80

Marlon Brando has died at the age of 80. Brando who played Don Vito Corleone in the Godfather is one of the most respected actors of his generation. Brando won Oscars for A Street Car named Desire and for The Godfather. But, he turned down the Oscar for the Godfather to protest the treatment of Native Americans. Mota Ogalala should appreciate that.

May his soul rest in peace.

Mr. Big Guy:

Who will ever forget Marlon Brando celebrated for finding the juncture between the truth of character and the truth of his being. changing the way men actors were portrayed on screen. A snub by any other actor might have caused trouble when he rejected his best actor award for GodFather.

His previous best actor award was "On The Waterfront", I believe. "A Street Named Desire," I believe, was his last performance on Broadway.

I salute his courage!

My name is Mota Ogallala Tekumseh, the proud native American. [Smoking]
