The Duke - massively unpopular in East Dulwich?

[Ted Max]

I mean, he wasn't a bad actor. But the obsession with the macho self-image, and the pro-McCarthy stuff, leads me to think The Duke would be massively unpopular in East Dulwich.

Especially post Green Berets' with its infamously right wing 'monday north vietnamese night' scene, complete with racist undertones.

Mind you, he loved to wear a good dress; perhaps had he set up a tranny bar?

Down in the old El Paso, they celebrated his crude likeness in all its rugged certainty, with an affecting faux-naif mural. But no more. Suggesting that even there, The Duke has lost a certain amount of credibility.

When I saw the title of the thread I thought you meant The Duke. But you were talking about The Duke.

How silly of me, everyone loves The Duke.

[Ted Max]

Everyone loves The Duke, you're spot on. But with the myriad name changes and confusing public image, The Duke struggles to gain much of a place in East Dulwich's affections.

But The Duke of course is held in the highest esteem round these here parts.

I think Ted Max is right - why change a perfectly good name? Marion is really quite fetching.

Well said BJL. I reckon it's how The Duke would put it.

If The Duke could talk of course.
