Well, many of the songs,
they aren't sad,
they're hopeless.
-Townes Van Zandt

The man behind the curtain
- Damien
- I like words, images, graphic design, well-turned phrases, doodling, humor and profundity. These are found in every quarter and I'm always on the hunt. I was rescued (in November, 1974) from guilt and a stubborn irrational belief in an impersonal chance universe (with the accompanying hopelessness). I'm now convinced that nothing is more obvious or worthy of our attention than our Creator and the one true ancient path. Only Jesus has the words of everlasting life. Like John Newton "I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see."

"There ain't no dark
til something shines,
I'm bound to leave
this dark behind"
-Townes "Rex's Blues"
"Best song Townes ever wrote"
-Vincent Howard
"Townes Van Zandt is the best songwriter in the whole world and I'll stand on Bob Dylan's coffee table in my cowboy boots and say that." - Steve Earle.
"I've met Bob Dylan and his bodyguards, and I don't think Steve [Earle] could get anywhere near his coffee table." - Townes Van Zandt.
And this is what funke thought:
Typical artist, always putting down the quality of his own work in order to provoke a few compliments...
