actually... it isn't over a year yet... he died in September 2003 (the morning I left on my cruise, so I remember). He is getting alot of attention right now because he would have been 74 this week...

Musically... he is definetely a hero... he changed country music in ways that forged the way for other entertainers... he balked at the system... did it his way... kept his integrity in tact... and came out above the rest..
