You Generation Y types probably have no idea who Scott Baio is, but Gen-X-ers like me should know. Baio was Chachi on “Happy Days” and spin-off “Joanie Loves Chachi,” and Charles on “Charles in Charge.”
I just learned this morning, through Jill Stanek, that Baio is pro-life and a conservative. He responded to someone on Twitter, and his leanings leaked out. He tweeted, “People that are Pro-Choice should ‘Thank’ their Mother for being Pro-Life.”
But, as Jill notes, the tweet is no longer there. “For whatever reason Baio – or his agent – apparently decided it best to remain underground with his pro-life convictions.”
That’s too bad. I’ve made similar complaints about Christian rockers who don’t like talking about their faith.
One actor who isn’t shy about his pro-life views is actor Jim Caviezel, probably best known for portraying Christ in “The Passion of the Christ.”
So few in Hollywood (or in the music business) hold views similar to mine. They’re like diamonds buried in a pile of manure. When I find one, I’ve got to pluck it out, clean it off, and present it.
Sparkly.
