Even in death, Evel Knievel knew how to put on a show.
A crowd of thousands turned out Monday in Butte, Montana, the hometown of the legendary stunt cyclist, who died Nov. 30, at 69.
"He's forever in flight now. He doesn't have to come back down," eulogized Matthew McConaughey, 38, a pal of the daredevil and the host of a Knievel documentary on the History Channel. "He doesn't have to land."
Son Robbie Knievel, 45, himself a stunt cyclist who's emulated his father's career, recalled childhood hunting and fishing trips with his dad, and announced, "I am not the greatest daredevil in the world. I am the son of the greatest daredevil in the world."
