RIP, Jerry Jeff Walker.

Jerry Jeff Walker, best known for "Mr. Bojangles" and helping to pioneer Texas’s “cosmic cowboy” sound, died Friday from throat cancer.

From 1979, "Running Wild with Jerry Jeff" by Roy Blount, Jr.:

Jerry Jeff is ambivalent about his audiences. “Sometimes they get too drunk,” he says. And they are too young. And they are not sufficiently discriminating. His band says he wishes that his audiences would shut up and listen, the way Willie’s do, when he shifts from one of his hard-driving rousers to a tender ballad. Once, before a performance, he accidentally took some synthetic marijuana (something he eschews even in natural form, because it makes him sleepy). “Great,” said the promoter afterward. For once Jerry Jeff was taken aback. “But I was hopping like a kangaroo!” he said. “That’s what they like,” said the promoter.

Among the the leading purveyors of right-wing misinformation? The obscure Chinese spiritual movement Falun Gong.
