MJPTFTTB: Billy Joe Shaver 03

Mike Judge Presents: Tales From the Tour Bus
Season 1, Episode 5
Billy Joe Shaver, 3 of 6
Aired on Cinemax: 2017.10.20
By all accounts, Billy Joe Shaver should never have made it in country music. A poor Texas kid from a broken family, he lost three fingers in a sawmill accident before ever writing a song. Despite his physical challenge, Shaver landed in Nashville as a singer/songwriter with hard luck songs about real life. A chance meeting with Waylon Jennings in the back of a peanut trailer led to the breakthrough 'Outlaw' album Honky Tonk Heroes, featuring Waylon singing songs written by Billy Joe. A decade later, Shaver made a name for himself after shooting a man at a roadside tavern for allegedly talking to his soon-to-be ex-wife. The gun play led to a celebrity trial and a shocking verdict. And, of course, Billy Joe wrote a song about it.

"If you have all that poverty and miserableness and broken heartedness and alcohol/drugs, well that makes for a great songwriter!"

I’d been watching some Beavis and Butthead on Pluto lately and mentioned it to a friend who mentioned these videos to me. So I’m kinda hearing Butthead.
