His dad's stage name was Blackie Dammett, and the only time I had ever seen him was in National Lampoon's Class Reunion and as a thug in Lethal Weapon.

Eerily handsome guy, but not the sharpest knife in the drawer. He had given a tearful testimony about how badly he screwed up his kid, thinking that introducing Anthony to drugs at such a young age would make him the coolest dad ever. I've grown up with kids who experimented early, and it was almost always the same tragedy on some level or the next. The ones who recovered in turn became the coolest, most successful but humble guys I know.

I don't know if I would judge Blackie as "evil" but definitely stupid. He's been in the ground for nearly two years now, so I don't suppose it matters.
