Happy 90th Birthday Rick Azar


Recommended Posts

True story: When I was  a teenager my father took me to see the movie Sophie's Choice. We went a theater in Amherst and sitting in the row in front of us was Rick Azar.

 

I was transfixed, as we always had Eyewitness News on at our home, and kept stealing glances at my daily link to the Bills and Sabres.

 

As the movie came to a climax women in the audience were weeping loudly and the men were choking up. (If you've never seen it, don't seek it out. It is one of the most heart-wrenching movies ever made and I don't ever want to see it again.)

 

The house lights came up and Rick stood up with tears in his eyes. Someone in his party said, "Well, what did you think?"

 

Mr. Azar spoke for us all when he replied, "Heavy movie, man. Heavy movie."

 

Happy Birthday, Rick!
