I guess Billy Joe Shaver is proof positive that literature doesn't necessarily have to be literate.

just a great article I saw Eddy Shaver’s last gig at Copeland Inn with Billy Joe and he was gone soon after -I swear he could rake like SRV and would have been big -fine article on how so many great Texas musicians for the most part helped Billy Joe’s life and career

I still like it that Billy Joe went on trial for attempted murder after he shot a guy at Papa Joe's Saloon in Lorena, TX and was found not guilty. He was definitely one of a kind, in the era before Twitter, Facebook and PR folk.
