http://imdb.com/name/nm0000062/bio You know what, he was a really nice person at times. You never hear about how nice he was or what he would do for people. It seemed like all he ever did was chase ladies, eat too much, abuse drugs and cause problems but that's not true. He was a very nice man. Read about him.
Yeah I guess. His music did influence the likes of The Beatles and Bob Dylan. I even read that while at F.S.U. Jim Morrison used to play his music really loud. Yeah, he (partially) founded and revolutionized early rock n roll. But to me, he represented a rascist, overly-patriotic "southern man". Plus, didn't the dude die cause he ate like 50 pain pills at once? But yeah, he made a great contribution to contemporary music, and I don't think that anyone that didn't know him personally could really say weather he was nice or not.
See? That's why a copied the article. It wasn't true. Poeple get the impression that becuase a White man lives in the South and speaks with a deep Southern Drawl that he's a red neck or a cracker but that's not true. Even if he was a red-neck, that doesn't mean he was all bad. Some of the nicest people are red necks. Some people just use it for Southern white guy.
