Heard his name a million times in this song, always wondered who he was. RIP good sir.

 

“I started writing this song about Chris Gantry, ended up writing about Dennis Hopper and Johnny Cash… Norman Norbert, Funky Donnie Fritts, Billy Swan, Bobby Neuwirth, Jerry Jeff Walker, Paul Siebel… Ramblin’ Jack Elliot had a lot to do with it.”

 

 

He’s a walking contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction. Great line.
