Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

Music Deaths: Jerry Jeff Walker, Wrote 'Mr. Bojangles'

JERRY JEFF WALKER, 78

Died 23 October 2020

Country singer/songwriter. Wrote the song "Mr. Bojangles."  

Leading figure in the Country Outlaw Movement.

He also wrote one of my favorite country songs "Up Against the Wall Redneck Mother."  "He's 34 and drinking in a honky tonk."

Doesn't get much more country than that.  

And, by the way, how do you spell "Mother."  Jerry will tell you.
