He was a good gospel singer and guitar-picker as well as an actor. Also he supported Obama and the ACA.
He was an apparently genuinely decent fellow.

Andy Griffith, RIP
The whole of The Andy Griffith Show and Mayberry RFD were, in their way, police procedurals as well as glimpses of a small-town world that was disappearing. The realness of those shows had a lot to do with Andy Griffith's realness--he was a fine actor and a fellow who remembered where he came from. He lit up motion pictures like A Face in the Crowd-- but I think to many, he'll be the down to earth lawman and father from the shows that bore his name.

It's good to know that an unapologetic communist could be such a beloved American icon.
Just listening to some of Andy's musical scenes makes me wish that he and Manley Wade Wellman had collaborated on a "Silver John" series.
