I met Willie Nelson and all of the Highwaymen in Chicago, I shook all their hands. Willie had those dead, brown eyes. I also hear they put on a benefit concert for Willie to pay off his tax bill with the Infernal Revenuers. Now, Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings are both dead. I hear Willie can't pick any more since the arthritis got his hands. The only one left is Kris Kristofferson. They told me to follow him out of the building to make sure no one messed with him. I was following him up a flight of stairs. When he got to the top, he turned around and looked at me. I told him they wanted me to follow him out to make sure no one messed with him. End of story. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke

Texas Monthly recently had a wonderful last interview with the Hag. Only two outlaws standing...

Dan Rather recently interviewed Merle Haggard. Dan Rather is now 82 y/o. Haggard is 75. Haggard said to him, "I guess I'm going to have to call you "Sir". LOL Texas Monthly recently had a wonderful last interview with the Hag.

Damn! thanks, never heard that. Willie will die on the road, doing what keeps him alive. Amazing.

He'll be found well-preserved from pot-smoke in the back of his bus when he kicks the bucket. Willie will die on the road, doing what keeps him alive.

In this haunting hymn to fallen stars, Fred Eaglesmith does more than convey his own sorrow for the deaths of the artists at the song's focus; he also expresses our great collective loss that such spectacular talents and unique voices could be stilled forever by drugs and alcohol. Still, perhaps Eaglesmith's deeper accomplishment is to acknowledge both the continuing appeal of drugs and alcohol and the toll they extract in countless lives, without pretending (either to himself or to his audience) to have all the answers. Sometimes, it is enough to mourn, Eaglesmith reminds us, and to wonder what might have been—and still could be.
