New Orleans Reading

Willie Nelson: An Epic Life by Joe Nick Patoski

Grant and Twain: The Story of a Friendship That Changed America by Mark Perry

The Personal Memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant by President and General Grant himself

Joe Nick tells us that he's got Vaquero in the last chapter of his Willie Nelson bio. It feels a wicked pleasure, to bring Grant to NO., which has no streets named for him.

Next week -- the Big Guy's birthday and New Orleans.

  1. I believe it is safe to observe that NS is the only person I know to be in a book about Sonic Youth AND a biography of Willie Nelson.

  2. K -- I haven't read it yet, so I have no opinion.
