Billy Joe Shaver fans, yall have probably seen this, but you will probably like watching it again.
For those of you who weren't fans, if you watch this you probably will become a fan.
Ragged Old Truck, story and song..

These are not “underrated, but not recognized enough by the mainstream:
Shel Silverstein
Lou Reed
Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark

Billy Joe Shaver was hanging at a restaurant in town with some friends. One of my buddies saw him and texted me and told me that he was there. I met my friend there with my son, who was around 8 years old. I'm not much for introducing myself to celebrities, but I thought it would be cool for my son to meet him. I walked up to him and introduced myself and told him I wanted him to meet my son. He stood up and shook my son's hand and visited with him for a few minutes. He treated my kid like he was the most important person in the world.

He was a helluva songwriter too.

I just woke up and read this.
What a great story.
Hope your son remembers it.

My dad took me to meet Bear Bryant a couple of times.
He was like that too.

Mark Knopfler probably doesn't get enough credit as a songwriter.

I'm his biggest fan and it's been a fact for a long time.
