Journal DaytonCIM's Journal: Evel Knievel v. Kanye West 5
"That video that Kanye West put out is the most worthless piece of crap I've ever seen in my life, and he uses my image to catapult himself on the public," the 68-year-old daredevil said Tuesday.
My money is on Evel Knievel.

I think whitey is still pissed about the "Katrina" commentary. Kanye's demographic wasn't yet born when Kneivel flopped at Caesars. They don't know his ass from Elvis.

Dude. You're funny.
I think you should read the story to understand where Kneivel is coming from. He worked his ass off and broke every major bone in his body building his trademark. He's a little upset that Kanye used his trademark without permission; and rightfully so.
As to my comments, it is my belief, the 68-year-old Kneivel would kick Kanye's ass up one side and down the other; as long as Kanye's numerous bodyguards were not allowed to interfere. But that's just me being a crack

I guess I get Evel's point - but I would have thought it an affectionate nod of tribute, meeself.
It's a kind of egomania that looks at this and thinks "Man. Kanye got a lot of milage out of his Kneievel bit."
By this accounting, I think E.K. still owes Elvis, for the combo Vegas/Sideburns/Jumpsuit/Flares.
You still have the action figure? I don't think I've seen one since '76, that didn't have a wire pushing sideways out of a knee or elbow. Like Major Matt Mason

I love and visit Vegas every chance I get.
I have, uhm... sideburns that could be affectionately called mutt-n-chops.
I do own a jumpsuit, but we won't go in to that... and flares, well... yes, the suit does have a collar that requires W I D E doors.
And for the record, I still have my Lee Majors Six Million
