CLICK HERE to Induct Gram Parsons to the Country Music Hall of Fame Now!
"I would speed up the process of getting worthy people into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Here are some candidates that come immediately to mind among the dead: Ray Charles, Jimmy Martin, Johnny Horton, Charlie Rich, Dottie West and Gram Parsons." -- Chet Flippo, July 2005.
Email me with any questions. Thanks, Gram deserves it.
Everyone who signed w w w . g r a m p a r s o n s p e t i t i o n . c o m . And though I just left them, my goods friends who played the G3P.I'd also like to have a party with old long-lost friends and a few musicians who have passed on.
BTW, this looks ridiculous in Internet Explorer, the worst browser ever. Download Firefox or Opera.

Thank you BJ for playing my event at the Nashville Palace. You were great!
The Red Violin, Body Heat, The Last Picture Show, Chinatown, Bull Durham, The Apartment, My Dinner With Andre, Manhattan/Annie Hall, American Graffiti, Breakfast Club, American Beauty, Don't Look Back, Finding Neverland, Buddy Holly Story, High Fidelity, Reality Bites, Catch 22, Almost Famous, Nashville, Midnight Cowboy, K-Pax, The Graduate, One Flew Over the Cookoo's Nest, The Last Waltz, Monterey Pop (40 years ago!), Woodstock, Psycho, An Unmarried Woman, Garden State, Easy Rider (yeah I know but...), Being There, Shipping News, Groundhog Day, Be Here to Love Me (film re: Townes Van Zandt), Gram Parsons: Fallen Angel...
FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS, best thing on TV by far, closely followed by the surprisingly good (for the title) Dirty Sexy Money (you want to understand Gram's line, "On the 31st floor, a gold-plated door, won't keep out the Lord's burning rain" watch this show. Boston Legal - Shatner and Spader still tremendous, Spader just gets better, just not quite as good this year so far. Pushing Daisies--more than meets the eye. Tina Fey rocks with 30Rock. I like the semi-mediocre Brothers & Sisters - great cast. Old: whole bunch, most good ones lasted less than a season. No order: Alias, Made in Canada, West Wing, Sports Night, 10th Kingdom, The Avengers, Name of the Game, The Wild Wild West, Twin Peaks, Chicago Hope (early ones), some other Kelley, Northern Exposure, Mad About You, Relativity, My So Called Life, Secret Agent Man, Star Trek (yeah, I know - Voyager the best), Thirty Something, Mad About You, the Dick Cavett Show, the Johnny Cash Show, the Dean Martin Show, the Smothers Brothers, It's a Man's World, Taxi, Early Cheers (before it got REALLY bad), I Spy, Rod Serling, a whole bunch that lasted three episodes that were great, such as If Not for You and Love Monkey.
After visiting New Orleans and the River Road, re-read all of Walker Percy , the great American bayou existentialist, starting with Lancelot, The Second Coming, Thanatos Syndrome, Love In the Ruins (which shares the same protagonist as Thanatos), The Last Gentleman (same protagonist, earlier, as Second Coming), and just finished all of Percy's fiction with his first book and winner of the National Book Award, The Moviegoer. My brain is (and was) patterned after his protagonists, for good or bad...
Some (fallen) but heroes nonetheless: Cash, Faulkner, Walker Percy, Hank Williams, John Adams, Brett Favre, Lombardi, Sorkin, Leonard Cohen, Dylan, Townes Van Vandt, Steve Earle, Clinton (Bill), Jimmy Carter (yes, I'm not kidding), Gram Parsons, Lucinda Williams, Kristofferson (early songwriting) - pick 'em from Interests...
Never will forget this moment on the Cash Show in '69.
My favorite pic of Gram and Emmylou.
