Huh. Robert Blake died.
I might have been two degrees of separation from him. I knew a guy in the early 90s who claimed to be one of his bodyguards. I was skeptical, given some of his other claims, but there were a few times he was supposedly on the phone with him at the same time I was there. So who knows. I knew a guy who knew a guy.
What I know about both of them though since then makes me wish that there were a lot more people between those two and me.
