Allee Willis’ Kitsch O’ The Day – Billy Dee Williams Colt 45 Lighted Sign
Though slightly past his prime 70′s days and seemingly a bit more sophisticated than the malt liquor he endorsed, Billy Dee Williams stayed finely oiled by downing the guaranteed-to-make-your-brain-spin Colt 45 in the 1980′s. He took much criticism for his association with the king of malt liquors but made a kwintessential Kitsch komment when he rebuked his kritics with “I drink, you drink. Hell, if marijuana was legal, I’d appear in a commercial for it.” I’ll have 40 ounces now, please.

That is fan-freaking-tastic. That is the Billie Dee I grew up with, hawking malt liquor and saving alternately dooming and saving Han Solo in a cape. Sigh.
I want that sign!!!!! It would be for sale anytime?
No, part of a permanent collection. But I do see various iterations of the sign show up on Ebay from time to time so make sure and sign up for email alerts there.
