How do you hate on a flying superhero afraid of heights? My favorite Miles Davis story is possibly apocryphal or slightly rephrased. "In 1987 the jazz trumpeter and group leader Miles Davis attended a White House reception in honor of Ray Charles with his wife at the time, the actress Cicely Tyson. When a woman asked him what he had done to be invited, he answered: 'Well, I've changed music four or five times. . . . What have you done of any importance other than be white?'"

I liked him when I first saw him on Picket Fences. Followed his career ever since... He'll always be the lawyer on picket fences to me. Kinda like how Leo DiCaprio will always be the foster kid of the Seavers on Growing Pains. You can't escape your TV roots! The thing I remember about Townsend that was the funniest was his PSA about using condoms on his HBO special in the '80s. When he stopped to think about all of the people he had slept with, and the camera froze on the big dude, he said "I was in prison once." (I checked on YouTube and couldn't find that scene--Doh!)

You didn't realize these things as a kid. "Meteor Man" is straight up ass. I'd take "Leonard Part 6" over that nonsense.

Plus, Townsend was in "Ratboy" wasn't he?
