Well, what do we have here…?
By the way, I thought of him as a flamingo’ed frat boy, but heard some of his more thoughtful stuff and changed my mind.
Today, I’m remembering how he spoke of hearing that John Wayne died:
Now on the day that John Wayne died
I found myself on the continental divide
Tell me where do I go from here?
Think I’ll ride into Leadville and have a few beers.
I think of “Red River” or “Liberty Valance”,
Can’t believe the old man’s gone…
But now he’s incommunicado
Leavin’ such a hole in a world that believed
That a life with such bravado
Was takin’ the right way home…
