You’re my boy, Blue
Cue “Dust In The Wind”
Patrick Cranshaw has passed away at the age of 86.
Although Cranshaw had been an actor since the mid-20th century, you probably remember him best as the frail elderly man named Blue from the 2003 movie “Old School.” In the flick, he joined the frat before dying while wrestling a pair of topless women. Of course, at his funeral, Will Ferrell’s character sang “Dust In The Wind” before screaming out, “You’re my boy, Blue.”
The role and the line resulted in a sudden surge in fame for Cranshaw, as the AP explains:
Fans would yell the signature line whenever they saw the actor and erected Web sites paying homage to his “Old School” character. He was even invited to meet with the Texas Rangers when they played the Angels in Anaheim.
The Rangers? Couldn’t we have given this guy some better perks? Like at least the A’s or something.
