i remember, growing up, seeing him on tv all the time, despite living nowhere near California. So when we went there on vacation one summer, our parents make sure to take us to “go see Cal”. I remember him as friendly but perplexed why we “had” to come see him. God that song was catchy.
I guess the next RIP will be Pete Ellis Dodge, Long Beach Freeway, Firestone Exit, South Gte
