Gone But Not Forgotten... Yet
-
The interesting thing about a battle brewing over the possible dropping of Bob Hope's name from the Burbank airport -- it would still legally be called Bob Hope Airport but would be marketed as Los Angeles Burbank Airport to attract more business that would otherwise go to LAX -- is that nobody here calls it Bob Hope anyway. It's always been Burbank -- I don't even remember when it became Bob Hope Airport (2003- I had to look it up). Also, it raises the question of whether Bob Hope's already becoming forgotten, because nobody under, say, 50 remembers him in his heyday and you don't see Bob Hope movies or anything on TV anymore. (And let that remind you how fleeting fame can be -- even the biggest celebrities will be forgotten someday, and sooner than you might think.) (Los Angeles Times)
