Now playing: two Gram Parsons CDs in one (mostly with Emmylou Harris) -> GP and Grievous Angel. How could it be I had never heard of these albums? Nice weekend listening. "Love Hurts" is beautiful. I know the Kim Deal (and Bob Mould?) version from, I think, the Love and a .45 soundtrack, but I never knew where the original was from. Incredible. Not very often I feel too young these days, but not knowing about this stuff before almost does it.
[update: O.K., I guess the Gram Parsons / Emmylou isn't the original Love Hurts. A lot of people recored it, but it was written by Boudleaux Bryant.]
I'm making good progress on the new [editpage].
This is going to solve some long standing and subtle (but still annoying) problems. I really feel like it's coming together.
Thats a great cd value 2 for 1 GP - also try the byrds swearthearts of the rodeo and the submarine band and FBB to complete your set pluss sticky fingers to (start to) include his range of influence. enjoy
Thanks Bill. What's FBB?

According to Page Six, Johnny "Jackass" Knoxville will star in a movie about the questionable disposition of GP's corpse:
Corpse-napper
"JACKASS: The Movie" star Johnny Knoxville has the
top-grossing flick in America, so get ready to see a lot more
of the gross-out guru. Knoxville will star opposite Christina
Applegate in "Grand Theft Parsons," based on the true story
of the death of country rocker Gram Parsons. The
Hollywood Reporter says Knoxville will play Parsons' road
manager, Phil Kaufman, who swiped Parsons' casket and
took it to Joshua Tree National Park in the California desert
and set it ablaze, fulfilling a pact he made with Parsons.
