Don Of The Dead

Couldn’t fall asleep immediately last night so I surfed channels on cable and came across the movie The Godfather (Part 1). It was at the part when James Caan’s character was gunned down at a toll booth. Succeeding scenes showed Marlon Brando in Oscar-winning mode as Don Vito Corleone, mourning the death of his son.

I knew the movie’s ending was still a long ways off, so I decided to turn in. Before I switched the TV off, I switched it to CNN where they were mourning the death of Marlon Brando at age 80.

What a jarring coincidence.

The Don is dead. Long live the Don!
