William Butler Yeats in jeans
Got up to play guitar and sing
In some join in Mission Beach last night

At the door sat Tom Waits
In a pork pie hat and silver skates
Jugglin’ three collection plates Jesus Christ
Townes Van Zandt standin’ at the bar
Skinnin’ a Hollywood movie star
Can’t remember where he parked his car
Or to whom he lost the keys

Full of angst and hillbilly haiku
What’s a poor Ft. Worth boy to do
Go on rhyme somethin’ for ‘em, man
Show him how you really feel

Ain’t no money in poetry
That’s what sets the poet free
I’ve had all the freedom I can stand

Cold dog soup and rainbow pie
Is all it takes to get me by
Fool my belly till the day I die
Cold dog soup and rainbow pie

One of my favorites. Got the news in a text from one of my pals in Nashtown yesterday. I posted it here:

I was fortunate enough to see him perform several times. Humble and understated.

One of my favorites, along with Stuff That Works

[Red_Devil 232]

Stuff That Works is a great song!

[Zionist Conspirator]

I’ve seen him described as a “folk singer.” Does that mean he was a Communist?

What a fine Texas artist, ‘instant coffee blues’, etc.

See recent Texas Monthly Guy Clark article He Ain’t goin nowhere. Just Real. Earthy. Stuff. Essentials.

Thanks for the post, prayers lifted up for Joy and friends of-
