Buck Owens, RIP
One of my friends used to like to take LSD and watch Hee Haw, a hillbilly variety show hosted by Roy Clark and Buck Owens. I never paid much attention to the show, but he convinced me to listen to the music of Roy, Buck, and Grandpa Jones, insisting they were geniuses. And he is right. I became a big fan of all three, and learned to love Hee Haw, even without drugs.
Yesterday, Buck Owens, a supremely gifted songwriter and guitar player passed away at the age of 76. He'll be missed. His music lives on. If you're curious, I recommend The Very Best of Buck Owens
