Return of Dukes brings memoriei
I never would
have guessed
one song could
have such an effect
on me.
When I heard
it, memories came
rushing back to
me as I sang every
word. I had just
Jonathan
Faber
Columnist
turned on the television after a
long day at class when I heard
the most beautiful notes and
lyrics ever.
It was Waylon Jennings
singing “Good Old Boys,” and
this meant The Dukes of Haz-
zard was on.
Everyone remembers the ba
sic premise of the show. The
two Duke cousins, Bo and
Luke, lived in Hazzard County
where they liked to drive fast,
run moonshine and torment the
local police. The Duke boys
lived on a farm with Uncle
Jesse and Daisy.
The real star of the show
wasn’t a person at all, however.
The General Lee was their
amazing orange car that stole
the show every week as the
Duke boys jumped it over every
hill, valley or construction site
in the county.
I always wondered how Bo
and Luke could speed down a
dirt road and hide behind a
couple of trees in an orange car
without Rosco P. Coltraine see
ing them as he sped by. Like I
said, it’s amazing.
The Dukes of Hazzard was
my favorite show growing up.
My parents bought me The
Dukes of Hazzard pajamas, The
Dukes of Hazzard sheets and
pillowcases, The Dukes of Haz
zard remote con
trolled General
Lee and my per
sonal favorite,
The Dukes of
Hazzard slot rac
ing set with the
death-defying
jump in the mid
dle. You could
say I was nutty over the show.
My friends and I would al
ways play The Dukes of Haz
zard game during recess at
school. In case you are unfa
miliar with the game, I’ll ex
plain it to you. It’s actually
pretty simple.
Two kids would play Bo and
I think Rosco's dog Flash was relat
ed to some character, but I may be
wrong.
Luke (I was always Bo), two more
would be Rosco and his deputy
Enos Straitt, and of course, people
would fill the spots for Daisy, Un
cle Jesse, Boss Hogg and Cooter
the mechanic.
Basically, Bo and Luke had
to try to save Daisy from the
evil clutches of Hogg while be
ing chased by the law. Uncle
Jesse got the boys out of jail
every day, and Cooter had to fix
the imaginary General Lee
whenever it broke down. Nutty,
I tell you.
Every week I looked forward
to watching the show, until it
suddenly went off the air. After
some mourning, I eventually
got on with my life.

Until this week, I had livei]
without my weekly doseofthe
show that helped shape my
childhood.
Imagine my surprise last
week when I turned to TNN-
for the first time ever, by the
way — and heard the song.
Now that I’ve seen a few
episodes, I’ve noticed a fewthinjs
I didn’t realize 10 years ago.
First and foremost, Daisyis
a babe. She inadvertently
started a fashion movement
with those “Daisy Dukes” she
always wore.
Second, I noticed everyone
in Hazzard County seemed to
be related. Bo, Luke and Daisy
were cousins,
Hogg was married
to Rosco’s sister,
and every person
that came into Haz
zard seemed to
long-lost cousin of
Uncle Jesse.
I think Rosco’s dog

Flash was related to some charat-
ter, but I may be wrorig.
The General Lee got more
abuse than any car I’ve ever
seen, yet it was always in per
fect running condition and had
a fresh coat of wax. Amazing.
Not only is the show on in
reruns now, but it’s on twice a
day! So if anyone needs meatd
p.m. or 6 p.m., I’ll be easy to
find.
I’ll be right in front of my
television watching my heroes
and reliving my childhood.
Nutty.
