    Such a great couple, they were so iconic growing up in the 70s. Life was so much more fun back then and Billy Jack was just a part of growing up then. RIP both of you, the world lost two wonderful people.

    Makes me cry at all the injustices. Still can’t listen to the song without tears. We need to make the movies available again. There is still a lot of value in what he stood for. God bless Tom and Delores. RIP Tom.

    I was one of Billy Jacks biggest fans. I have long admired him. Much of anti war sentiment has passed over the years but the culture of his time still remains. The mold for Tom Laughlin has been broken and will never appear again he is loved by many but belongs to the ages! Thanks Tom for your life and times.

    I have to say those movies played a major role in my childhood. Very early. From like the age of 10 until the age of 14. Then I found football and girls and I became a different person. Now I am in my late 50s and see the end. I am more like the 10 year old Billy Jack emulator. It all goes way too fast doesn't it.
