Townes Van Zandt

He has been in heavy rotation on my i-pod. The man was being groomed to be the next Governor of Texas. Perhaps he could have been President. Instead he blew it off and became a legend.

He is an influence on MMJ's Jim James, who nearly stopped my heart with his rendition of Goin' to Acapulco in the Not-Exactly-Dylan-Bio Pic, I Am Not There.

Here is the Sunday morning love. Pardon the cheesy dying flower montage (I couldn't resist. It makes me laugh). I do love this joint. It appears during the closing credits of this APT favorite.



They also made a film about the fellow. This is a must see.



I am on vacation so Roomie will have to pick up the slack. Nos Vamos.
