Me, too. He was part of the Chicago folk scene (Earl of Old Town, etc) when I was in college.

Here's hoping he pulls through...

Sorry to hear that. I've liked him since I first heard him in the '70s.

Hope an angel from Montgomery comes to his aid.

Like that?

But then we also have this gem:

"Come back to us, Barbara Lewis, hare krishna, beauregard...."

(One of my favorite lyrics of all time, because it's just so, well, lyrical Big Grin )

Yes, he also wrote some histerical lyrics.

And then there is this:
Well, I woke up Sunday morning with
No way to hold my head that didn't hurt
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad
So I had one more for dessert.

....I'm wishing, Lord, that I was stoned
Cause there's something in a Sunday
That makes a body feel alone
And there's nothing short of dying
That's half as lonesome as the sound
Of a sleeping city sidewalk
And Sunday morning coming down

So if you're walking down the street sometime
And spot some hollow ancient eyes
Please don't just pass 'em by and stare
As if you didn't care, say, "Hello in there, hello"

The town drunk of my home town called country music, "Depressing music for retarded people."

Dear Abby, dear Abby
Well I never thought
That me and my girlfriend would ever get caught
We were sitting in the back seat just shooting the breeze
With her hair up in curlers and her pants to her knees
Signed just married

AACCCKKK! Thought it was Kristofferson doing a Prine song. I was wrong, which is amazing in itself.
