Hilarious Jay Thomas Lone Ranger story
Here is actor/radio guy Jay Thomas' hilarious story of meeting Clayton Moore/the Lone Ranger. I think someone posted this here years ago, maybe it was me. but it deserves a replay. Jay Thomas passed away this last week. It's so funny I can actually tolerate Letterman here who I can't stand.

That was great! Would have loved to see the look on the hit-n-run driver's face. And for that matter the cops too when they showed up!

That was worth it for the "herbed up" alone.

I have seen that before, but it is well worth a second look. Hilarious!

I can barely type this. I have tears in my eyes from laughing so hard. I can just envision the late Clayton Moore doing this. May he rest in peace.

Western movies
If you watch enough old westerns made post WW II, you will see Clayton Moore(Lone Ranger) without his mask. Moore is in lots of these old oaters as a bit player. If you have an ear for voices, you'll know him immediately. The Lone Ranger gig was the best thing ever happened to Clayton. He asked for a big raise one year during the 1950s and they replaced him with John Hart.

Amazing how he took on the persona of the Lone Ranger, he took it as a serious responsibility. It was how he made his living, but he used it to do good too.
He knew he had to be a good example. I wish some of today's actors had a tenth of his ethics.

All during the time that Clayton Moore had to wear sunglasses instead of the mask because of the ridiculous court order, I never heard him say an unkind word about the makers of The Legend of the Lone Ranger. I was one of his fans who boycotted that movie for what they did to him, and in the end, justice was served for the Lone Ranger.

Clayton Moore didn't just play the Lone Ranger, he lived him. There was a tongue-in-cheek commercial he did for Ray Ban sunglasses that ended with him driving off in a white Mustang convertible. Heigh-ho, Silver!Awaaay!
