Daisy Duke - Oh How the Mighty Have Fallen

"Daisey Duke"

No, Mo’Kelly never cared for the show The Dukes of Hazzard…a confederate flag-draped car was galavanting around the South on CBS (Mo’Kelly’s least favorite network) was never all that enticing. To adequately explain the disdain for the show, one has to put it in its proper historical context.

The car was named the “General Lee”…after the CONFEDERATE general Robert E. Lee.

That’s almost…almost like naming a car Adolf Hitler and placing a swastika on its roof.

The show debuted in 1979, also which happened to be the last season of Good Times the “landmark” Black sitcom featuring an African-American family of five in the Cabrini-Green projects who barely had a pot to piss in or a window in which to throw it out.

CBS went from Good Times…to The Dukes of Hazzard. Yes, ethnic diversity and progress at their best. And even in 2009 you can’t find a Black TV show anywhere NEAR the network or any of its Viacom relatives. And the network has the dirty nerve to wonder why it fares so poorly among African-Americans. Note, The Dukes of Hazzard hung around until 1985 and even had a bad movie remake made in recent years.

But Mo’Kelly digresses.

To this day, people are amazed when Mo’Kelly has to “explain” why he was never a Dukes of Hazzard fan.

General Lee toy

Idiots.

Anyhow. One (check that…the ONLY) “pleasing” aspect to the show was Catherine Bach, “Daisy Duke”…and namesake of the eventual jean short shorts craze that would follow her decades later. The character name became an eventual pop culture icon…ironically in hip-hop culture specifically.

See below…

With all that as a precursor…found this recently posted picture of “Daisy

Duke” (Catherine Bach) in 2009.

Let’s just say her “Daisy Duke” days are over… Yes, time waits for no one…but this fall from grace was anything but a short drop.

A moment of silence for Cathering Bach.

…

Daisy will be missed…
