Damn. The Wacko from Waco is gone.

Can we put Willie into cryogenic storage or something for a few months?

In case anyone has not seen them there is a series by Mike Judge called "Mike Judge Presents: Tales from the Tour Bus" they are all pretty wild but the Billy Joe Shaver episode pretty much validates Shavers credentials as outlaw country. I recommend all of them if you are into that kind of thing.

Here's a little taste of how entertaining they are

Saw him a few years ago at the Redneck Country Club and glad I did. Favorite quote from that night..."I've been writing songs since I was in middle school...that's why some of them aren't that good"

Knock Willie off before the election, however, even dead, he'll vote D.

I haven't seen season 3 but 1 and 2 are worth watching twice.

He wasn't country, but Eddie Van Halen. The music of my youth.

The BJS and Waylon story is great.

The Honky Tonk Heroes album should be in everyone's collection. The Wacko from Waco wrote all but one of the songs.

My favorite Shaver lyric is from his song Black Rose:

Quote:
When the devil made that woman
Lord, she threw the pattern away.
She was built for speed with the tools you need
To make a new fool every day.

When asked about the origins of that song, Shaver said:
Quote:
They wrote it up in Rolling Stone as Black Rose being heroin, and that just wasn't it.

What it was I was referring to a girl I had, uh well, had sexual relations with when I was 12 years old.

These boys talked me into the idea that if ya wanted to be a true Texan your first sexual encounter had to be with a black woman and I bought into it. So I was standing in line there with my three dollars in my hand and all of a sudden the line disappeared and there weren't no one but me.

The woman grabbed my three dollars and you'd be amazed at how fast you can become a true Texan.

She said "you're done" and that's all there was to it."

Waylon did a nice job on that song on the Honky Tonk Heroes album, BTW.

Willie put out that song "Last man standing" a while back.

He might be on to something.
