In spite of the fact that the almost-forgotten Gram Parsons was one of the best singer-songwriters of that brief interlude between the 60's and the 70's, no to mention one of the best looking men; there seems to be very little live video of him. But I found a bit. Deal with the blur.
Here's another song, said to be live, but with just random pictures. Still beautiful. Beautiful, beautiful.
I have a theory. Gram Parsons was Country. Country people have no (or even negative) taste, and so ignore him. Rockers hear the word "country" and run for the hills, not realizing the beauty they are missing, and the slight amount of amusement to be found in such behavior.
I leave you with a beautiful bit of very early Gram; thank you Paul, for introducing me to this amazing song:
It is often said that before you die your life passes before your eyes. It is in fact true. It's called living. -Terry Pratchett
