I love Willie's cover. I saw him sing it last year...



And since this is a sports board...

Did Bob Dylan die too?

Some would argue he's been walking dead for years.**

John Bond always reminded me of Mac’s character in North Dallas Forty.

The Mac Davis character was based on Don Meredith.

Probably more Bond than Dandy Don.

Yes & Nick Nolte's character was based on Peter Gent who wrote the novel the movie was based on.

Meredith was known to say that if he knew that Gent who had been a teammate with him for the Cowboys was as good as he said he was in North Dallas Forty, he'd have thrown to him more.
