I had believed David Allan Coe died five years ago, but apparently he just passed.
I do not know what the youths do now, but if you didn't know all the words to "You Never Even Called Me By My Name" - were you even really Texas'ing in the late 20th Century?
I don't know how much Coe and I would have agreed on in this life, maybe not much. But that song is one of the greatest ever performed.
And one night at the VFW in Bozeman, Montana, I surprised several digital library colleagues by singing all the words to this most important song. I may have had a few cocktails beforehand.
