He was a hero to me ever since I read Robert Gordon's epic It Came from Memphis, my love of that book took me all the way from Ireland to Mississippi for a memorable afternoon in the Zebra Ranch, where I heard some of Jim's remarkable stories about the likes of Ry Cooder, Bob Dylan, Paul Westerberg and Alex Chilton (as well as many about people less widely known, but crucial in some world-historical sense, such as Good Kid Robert). I count myself privileged to have spent time in his company and I can't believe he's gone. But no - as his self-penned epitaph will read, "I'm just dead, I'm not gone". As long as music lasts, he will be remembered by the people who love such things.Paul Duanehttp://www.screenworks.ienoreply@blogger.com
