I've liked Webb for a long time. I first saw his work from a short film he did about a UFO visitation to a trailer park. It was just too funny. We got to see him for the first time earlier this year at Moondog's near Pittsburgh. Great band and great fun, from a writer who's got a foot in tradition and a foot in the cosmos. Highly recommended!
Someone should write a good bio of Webb. He's been a lighthouse of twang for a long time, protecting the rest of us from clunky metaphors. Like this one. He deserves it! Long live the Webb!
