No, no, no, I can't take it no more. I'm tired of gettin' up off the floor.

Hoyt Axton was one of those quirky artists who never made the real big time, just danced around the edges and gave pleasure to many us quirky fans (yes, that's some of you Mudcatters, quirky).

I think his music projected his warm-heartedness as well. And yeah, I liked his acting.

Was he really 19 when he wrote Greenback Dollar?

Last year it was Shel, this year it was Hoyt, more good-ol'-boy than Renaissance Man. Damn, this getting old means more of your heros and heroines passing away.

God rest ye, Hoyt. "Well, the rain's comin' down and the roof won't hold and I lost my job and I feel a little older"
