(maybe) true story about "Dang Me,"
Roger Miller and Johnny Cash were driving across the desert from one show to another, and suddenly Roger Miller said, "Stop! I gotta do something." So they stopped, and he disappeared into the brush and was gone so long Cash went to sleep. He finally came back and said, "I had to write a song right away!" So Cash asked him to sing it:
"Dang me! Dang me! They oughtta take a rope and hang me!"
"Man, you need a doctor!"
(vaguely recalled from "Cash")

I think Cash was right. Miller was one of the most unpredictable country/pop musicians I ever saw. When he had his TV show, I saw him pick up his guitar, strum it and say, "Turn me down a little back there, will you?"
Then he turned back around and said, "I hate to get turned down."
Jim Stafford is a lot like Miller was with that kind of spontaneity. On the Tonight Show, Johnny Carson asked Stafford where he was from, and he replied, "Eloise, Florida." He then said, "They don't get this show in Eloise," which had Carson going, with some concern about who the NBC affiliate was and what they could do. Stafford said, "No, Johnny, they watch it ... they just don't get it."
