Legendary Texas songwriter Guy Clark, 74, dies

Grammy winner and legendary songwriter Guy Clark, 74, has died, his family said Tuesday.

Guy Charles Clark was born on Nov. 6, 1941 in the West Texas town of Monahans, southwest of Odessa. He grew up in his grandmother’s hotel, where an inspiring menagerie of guests wandered through — including a wildcatter named Jack Prigg, the basis of Clark’s song “Desperados Waiting For a Train.”

...

Susanna Clark died from complications of lung cancer in 2012. Because of ongoing health problems, Guy stopped touring and recording soon after. He is survived by his son Travis and daughter-in-law Krista McMurtry Clark; grandchildren Dylan and Ellie Clark; sisters Caroline Clark Dugan and Jan Clark; manager and friend Keith Case; caretaker and sweetheart Joy Brogdon; nieces, nephews and many, many dear friends, colleagues and fans.

Funeral arrangements are pending.

Just... damn. One of my favorite songwriters. And so soon after losing Merle Haggard, too.

They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Guy Clark
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Guy Charles Clark (November 6, 1941 – May 17, 2016)[2] was a Grammy Award winning American Texas country and folk singer, musician, songwriter, recording artist, and performer. He has released more than twenty albums, and his songs have been recorded by other artists including Jerry Jeff Walker, Jimmy Buffett, Lyle Lovett, Ricky Skaggs, Steve Wariner, and Rodney Crowell. Guy Clark won the 2014 Grammy Award for Best Folk Album: My Favorite Picture Of You.

Mary Anne Alfriend. Faced with the prospect of voting for either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton, Mary Anne Noland of Richmond chose, instead, to pass into the eternal love of God on Sunday, May 15, 2016, at the age of 68.

When I die, don't bury me
In a box in a cemetery
Out in the garden'd be much better
So I could be pushin' up homegrown tomaters.

And I played the Red River Valley
 And he'd sit in the kitchen and cry
 Run his fingers through seventy years of livin'
 And wonder, "Lord, has every well I've drilled gone dry?"
 We was friends, me and this old man
 Was like desperados waitin' for a train
 Like desperados waitin' for a train

 Well, he's a drifter and a driller of oil wells
 And an old school man of the world
 He taught me how to drive his car when he was too drunk to
 And he'd wink and give me money for the girls
 And our lives was like some old western movie
 Like desperados waitin' for a train
 Like desperados waitin' for a train

 From the time that I could walk, he'd take me with him
 To a bar called the Green Frog Cafe
 And there was old men with beer guts and dominoes
 Lying 'bout their lives while they played
 And I was just a kid, but they all called me "sidekick"
 Was like desperados waitin' for a train
 Like desperados waitin' for a train

 And one day I looked up and he's pushin' eighty
 And has brown tobacco stains all down his chin
 Well, to me, he's one of the heroes of this country
 So why's he all dressed up like them old men
 Drinkin' beer and playin' Moon and Forty-two
 Just like a desperado waitin' for a train
 Like a desperado waitin' for a train

 And then the day before he died I went to see him
 I was grown and he was almost gone
 So we just closed our eyes and dreamed us up a kitchen
 And sang another verse to that old song
 Come on, Jack, that son-of-a-bitch is comin'
 We're desperados waitin' for a train
 Was like desperados waitin' for a train
 Like desperados waitin' for a train
 Like desperados waitin' for a train 

The best song about long friendship unto death that I've ever heard.   RIP,  Guy Clark.

CBS News Legend Morley Safer Dies One Week After ‘60 Minutes’ Retirement

Quote
Morley Safer—who, at 84, announced his retirement last week after more than five decades at CBS News, all but six years of that peerless stretch as a star correspondent for 60 Minutes—has died.

As a combat reporter in Vietnam, ducking sniper’s bullets and enemy mortars while embedded with American soldiers on patrol, “he was as cool as a hog on ice,” retired Brig. Gen. Joe Stringham, a former Green Beret commander, recalled for Morley Safer: A Reporter’s Life, an hour-long special that aired last Sunday.

Alan Young, voice of Scrooge McDuck and foil to Mister Ed, dies at 96



Angus "Alan" Young (no relation to the AC/DC guitarist), originally born in northern England before moving to Canada in his youth, emerged as a radio star in Canada shortly after serving in World War II. His show was picked up in the United States, running on radio and then television until 1953. After some film roles and bit TV parts, Young landed his most enduring role, that of Wilbur Post, the foil to the title talking horse on the sitcom Mister Ed, which ran for 143 episodes and continues to be seen in reruns today. Young ran the official Mister Ed Web site until a couple of years before his death.

Following Mister Ed, Young moved into voice work, especially in the 1980s, when he landed the role of Scrooge McDuck, the insanely wealthy but generally good-hearted uncle to the trio of ducklings Huey, Dewey and Louie; Young voiced the character throughout the TV show DuckTales (itself seen in reruns for nearly two decades) and numerous other voice parts, both for Disney and other companies (including parts on The Smurfs). Young was still voice acting as recently as the early 2010s, voicing Scrooge for new Mickey Mouse shorts and voicing roles in the Christian radio drama Adventures in Odyssey.

That's great, Frank!  I want one.  Sort of a convertible pick-up truck kind of vehicle.  I guess you would have to add seat belts now.

When I was a little kid I loved Mr. Ed.  And as with most little girls, I loved horses and I wanted to have one of my own and a talking horse would have even been better. But I couldn’t have a horse, even a non-talking horse, but one year for Christmas I got this – IIRC my older brother bought it for me – The Mr. Ed talking hand puppet:

I pulled the sting on that puppet so many times that it eventually wore out (or perhaps my parents sabotaged it).  :whistle:
