    This is 4 years before his motorcycle accident. His brain was fully functioning here.

    Busey doesn't get enough credit for his acting ability. Even with his Best Actor Oscar nomination for The Buddy Holly Story, people seem to forget he's a very good and entertaining actor

    Thank you for sharing such a quality master. Getting my mind off my troubles for 11 mins.
    Gary is so bright and aware. Mmm. Feel for the guy.
    Gary knows Nick Nolte haha. Somehow makes sense. They want to sing together. This doesn't though, really. Haha.
