Al Copeland kicks the bucket.

Good bye, Al Copeland. You were truly a classic New Orleans character.

I shall raise a chicken wing and a biscuit in your honor.

I wonder how many people are going through the Popeyes' line today because of this?

Did any of the chicken pop out after he kicked it?

We used to joke how the Sign at a Popeye's read "POPE YES" if you looked at it right.

I'm gonna look and see if there is still one here in GSO (there was at one time, but I haven't eaten there).

It would be more appropriate to go to a Copeland's, since he didn't own Popeye's any longer....

....he was a real interesting character, a piece of N'awlins history to be sure.

I can remember driving by his Christmas light display dozens of times, he sure knew how to put on a show.
