Drew, ol’ Bob Lee Swagger just wrote about commencement addresses, and he mentioned Ted Turner’s. Here’s what he said:
Ted Turner at UNC in the early 90s was truly one for the ages.? This was, I believe, pre-Jane and Ted was quite deep in his cups ? hell, the boy was pie-eyed drunk on his ass.? He mumbled something totally unintelligible, grabbed his sizable honorarium and did a full Otis Campbell.? Chapel Hill historians show that incident as the first time anyone ever heard local Deity Bill Friday say ?Holy S—? at least loud enough for anyone to hear him.
