Happy Birthday, Van Zandt.

Townes Van Zandt was born on this date in 1944.

I don't think you can ever do your best. Doing your best is a process of trying to do your best.
- Townes Van Zandt

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

Indeed, sublime poetry.



My favorite poem of his done by one of my favorite singers, Peter Rowan.
