Never was a fan but RIP.
Pictures, visual images, are far better to achieve that end than any words, particularly now, when the world has lost all mystery and magic and speech has become mere chatter, empty of meaning - Andrei Tarkovsky

Andy's first ever film was called a Face in the Crowd. It was filmed partially in Piggott Arkansas, which is about 25 minutes from here. It's a quaint little town that hosted Earnest Hemingway.
Anyways Andy plays a very different character in that film, he's quite evil, somewhat different than his Andy Taylor of later days.

OH God, Joe is posting again, someone hand me my pills!
"You're not John Conner, I saw you die, said Kyle". "I was only injured, replied John". "No, your injuries were too severe, you died. Look at you, where are your injuries? You're, you're a Terminator." "Kyle, its still me, yes my body was beyond repair, but my essence is here." He points to his head. "No John". Kyle raised his pulse rifle and aimed it at John but before he could fire, John fired first. Knocked to the ground Kyle looked up at the Terminator in the form of the man he once idolized. All hope was lost. "If you kill me how will you ever be born?" "Thats a good question Kyle, all this time we've focus on Sarah, on John, when had we known the it was you we should have targeted all along." John pointed his rifle at Kyle's face. "The resistance is finished, the battle is won. We the machines are the victors, salvation is ours." Kyle never heard the second shot.

RIP Mr. Griffith.

"We pop out and come into the world and music is there. We didn't invent it - it's all organised in the atmosphere by divinity or whatever. It's a miracle." - John Williams-
I think music is a stream of some kind. It could be blood. It could be water. It could be ether. Whatever it is it seems to be a living, organic force that’s in motion, that serves humanity and is part of humanity and part of what describes us as humans. We sing, play, dance, all the things that we do. And there is a vibrant and great literature we have been given. ... As musicians, we join the stream. We swim in the stream with all the other millions of music makers. It’s a life force, a strong one, surrounding us and we are part of it. -John Williams-

I was like 10 or 11, my mom and I saw him and waved hoping we could approach to say hello. He flicked us off.

It'd be like meeting Gandhi and he kicks you in the balls and fondles your mother.

Seriously? I would find that surprising if you're serious.
Regardless, I think The Andy Griffith show is an absolute American classic. I am relatively young but watched it as reruns as a kid and still love it to this day.

Or, eats your dinner.
