An excellent article in the weekend Statesman on John Bradley.

I never knew his nickname was Marty. I think we'll have to rework the lyrics to the Perfect Country Western song at the next APLI gig (i.e., where Coe sings "you never even called me by my name")

Sad that the reporter didn't call me for a comment.

You can always comment privately to the band and myself and we'll write a song about it. Hope you are well, Dan.

What is your family nickname?

I wonder if any other of the Bradley relatives would be willing to tell Dan's nickname?

I've heard--but this is just a rumor, so I don't know how true it is--that Dan Bradley's family nickname is Danny-Boy, as in "Oh Danny-Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling, from glen to glen and down the mountainside . . . ."

I've also heard--and again this is just a rumor, so I don't know how true it is--that Dan Bradley's nickname when he worked for the Chambers Co. D.A.'s Office was Danno. As in, "book'em Danno--Murder One."

If I am mistaken, well then, Danno can correct me.

That should be Danno's signature line.

Sorry, Mike, no secret nickname, but the family motto is rumored to be "Leave the Wounded."

Book 'em, Danno.

You now have a new forum nickname.

For Bradleys, it's all in the family - except for politics

Web Posted: 11/27/2009 12:00 CST
By Gary Scharrer - Express-News

AUSTIN - Hard-nosed Texas prosecutor John "Marty" Bradley supports the death penalty. His mother, Shirley Bradley, remains a fervent opponent of it.

Her oldest son, John "David" Bradley, is an outspoken Republican leader among the social conservatives on the State Board of Education. His mom proudly keeps his campaign bumper sticker on her car - along with a bumper sticker promoting Democratic Party icon Hillary Clinton.

Not surprisingly, Shirley Bradley enforces a firm rule when the family gathers for holidays and other occasions: No talking politics or religion.

"It's my rule. ... Those are just forbidden subjects," the Houston family matriarch says. "We all have heard each other's opinions enough. It was nonproductive. I want to have happy times with them. I respect their opinions. I don't agree with them, but I taught them to have opinions."

And her two older sons certainly have strong opinions. Both are named John, although the oldest goes by David. Count him among the State Board of Education leaders who helped weaken the teaching of evolution in public school classrooms, pushed phone-tics and back-to-basics reading skills and led an effort to ditch a "fuzzy math" textbook for third-graders.

The most interesting thing to me is they are all wearing black hats like they're getting ready to rob the stagecoach.
