Her hair hangs down yellow
But her skin is Shawnee
She lives in caliche pits
Outside of town
And fires her long rifle
At the sun going down...

Can forget about what used to be
Be happy with the way life is
Not think about what once was his?

Born on this day in 1922: the great Kurt Vonnegut.
My 11th grade English teacher threw me a Vonnegut book and said "YOU-read this ONE." He's my first literary love and he's why I wanted to be a writer.
The postcard Vonnegut sent me when I wrote him to ask a bunch of questions:

This one mirror at school always makes me double take because I feel like it makes my head look giant. Then I always reflect on how I’m always not really sure what I look like. Is this a common feeling?

Of course Spin #1 today is Guy.
This was released earlier this year. It's a 1970 Houston coffee shop performance recording. Pretty interesting mix of his early originals (including "Step Inside My House") and some covers of Dylan and other folk stuff.

She standin' on the gone side of leavin'
She found a thumb and stuck it in the breeze
She'll take anything goin' close to somewhere
She can lay it down and live it like she'd please
Born on this day in 1941: all time great, Guy Clark.

She said, "If you're from Texas, son

I smiled and said, "I got guns no one can see"
We laughed at that and both agreed

I got these great Bob Wills 45s from my papa's collection. My dad said something about my great aunt dating or marrying Bob Wills' brother. Possible given they lived in central Oklahoma but unconfirmable now. Anyway, saw this awesome poster in The Lowdown and thought of them.
