The great James McMurtry sings a classic Guy Clark song. "There ain't no money in poetry/that's what keeps the poets free/I've had all the freedom I can stand/Cold dog soup and rainbow pie/that's all it takes to get me by" has to be one of the greatest quatrains in Texas music history.
William Butler Yeats in jeans
Got up to play guitar and sing
In some joint 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
There 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
Ginsberg and Kerouac
Shootin' dice and playin' Ramblin' Jack's guitar
With the cowboy paintin' pickguard on it
And they sat in the back and drank for free
And rhymed orange with Rosalie
Now there's a pride of lions to draw to
Two of my all-time favorites: Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash. When they sat down together and recorded Girl from the North Country, it wasn’t just a duet… it was a moment in time.
David Allan Coe is one of the most important people in the history of country music. He has written and performed some of the most well known songs of all time. He’s currently not a member of @opry@countrymusichof for purely political reasons. David is 86 years old, do the right thing and put him in immediately while he is still here to see it!
