OT: RIP Buck Owens

[Dr. Doofus]

Buck Owens died earlier today in Bakersfield CA.

For Papa Doof, Saturday night was Hee Haw and Buck Owens. Ok, so not the best introduction to one cool cat for the lil Doof. Buck Owens and Don Rich were the real deal -- and visiting Sister Doof in Bakersfield won't be the same without visits to Buck's club....

"Tall Dark Stranger," man....

That's too bad. Streets of Bakersfield with Dwight Yoakam is one of my favorite songs.

Gone, but not forgotten

[Bill Bove]

Like the Greatful Dead, he was true to HIS muse, and he made what he did COOL.

He'll be missed.

Buck Owens brings back some Hee Haw memories from my childhood days. Sorry to hear it.

RIP Buck.

WHERE ARE YOU TONIGHT?

Where, oh where, are you tonight?

Why did you leave me here all alone?

I searched the world over and I thought I'd found true love.

But you met another and PTHHP! you was gone.

You took out your false teeth, your wig and your glasses.

You were just scattered all over the place.

I wanted to kiss you and hug you so tightly.

I guess that I would have if I'd found your face.

I went to your house at three in the morning.

You had all them curlers and junk in your hair.

You would not have scared me and I'd not have run so,

If you had not looked like you'd wrestled a bear.

I told you, my darlin', you looked like a gopher.

Made you so mad, you haven't spoke since.

But tell me my darling if you ain't got buck teeth.

How do you eat apples through a picket fence?

When I picked you up for our date last weekend.

You looked so pretty in your satin and lace.

But when I bent over and started to kiss you,

you popped a pimple all over my face!

You guys all just went up a notch in my book. To quote Huggy Bear, "That puts you at notch one"
