Okay, it was Kris Kristofferson on Austin City Limits, not REM. But ain't that just as good? "Sunday Morning Comin' Down" is about as flawlessly poetic a song as you'll ever hear, even when raspy-throated Kris performs it.
The old buzzard gave me gooseflesh when he sang & strummed "Help Me Make It Through the Night" & "For the Good Times." And he made me smile when he said about the capital of Texas:
"Okay, this isn't Music City. But it's Music Soul anyway."
But Mr. Steve Earle doin' Townes Van Zandt's songs & telling stories about his dead pal tonight was even better for me. God bless you, Townes, wherever you are.
