About 12 years ago, I sang this on stage with my friend Willie a couple of times. I was having a bad time, and I wish I had realized that he was too. I moved out of the country a couple of months later. In 2017 I learned he committed suicide. I'm sorry, Willie. Thanks for singing with me.

I remember around 1981 or so, when Willy and Waylon did Pancho and Lefty, my Dad schooled me about Townes Van Zandt. The Old Man's been gone a while, and while he was career Navy, Vietnam vet, and one of the hardest working men I've ever met, I drifted into drugs and crime. I've been clean for a while now, and every day I gain a deeper appreciation for everything he taught me about music. For a high school dropout that fled the reservation for the Navy at 17 in 1955, that man knew more about American music than some Berkeley (Boston music college) professors I've met. I'll be playing my acoustic for him and Mom Sunday, where they rest near the pond where I grew up. This will definitely be on the playlist.

To all of you out there who have given up hope and feel there's nothing left to live for/that no one would you, YOU'RE WRONG!! Cutter thought he had no one, but he left behind a beautiful little girl, his mom, a girlfriend, and countless friends. I would give ANYTHING to have a do-over of the last night I saw him alive.

There is a story in which they needed to get the release for this from Mick and Keith before it could be used in The Big Lebowski. The management who had the rights were playing hardball and the Coen brothers flew the guy they were negotiating with to LA for a private screening. They weren't getting any indication from the guy that he would give the release until it came to the scene in the cab where the Dude demands that the driver shut off the Eagles song that was on the radio. Once he said "I hate the F******g Eagles", the guy jumps up and says "Wonderful, you can have the song at no cost!" Nothing like mutual hatred of the Eagles to bring us all together.

Big lie by someone who apparently knows nothing or cares to know nothing . Keth Richards wrote it in England. And where is any evidence that the creator of the huge , old universe cares anything at all about temporary nations , or humans at all? I know , never argue with an ignorant , dumb person . But Keth deserves credit for authorship Not Townes , he just covered like Pat Boone covered Little Richard .

Blaze, Steve , Kris . It's like everyone that man touched were blessed. I'm the only person I know that is under 40 (barely) that got to meet him. I was sadly only 7 years old but my cousin introduced me to him and told.me he was the best songwriter to ever live and this is a important man.
