RIP Poodie

Sad Day in Spacewood

This sucks.

 

[Hornius Emeritus]

Way too young.

I was just out talking to him a few weeks ago.


RIP Poodie

 

[Texanne]

I don't know what this is, and there's nothing in the link. Help?

Texanne...Poodie Locke has been Willie Nelson's chief roadie since 1975. He was at home yesterday on a short break from touring and had a massive heart attack and died...at the age of 56.

I've known him for about twenty years, and he was a hell of a guy. No Willie show will ever be the same without Poodie barking orders.

My thoughts go out to all of the 'Family' and especially to 'Momma' Locke, who Poodie cherished and treated like a Queen.

 

[Hornius Emeritus]

He was more famous, probably, for being the owner of Poodie's Hilltop.


Here is the corrected link:

[Texanne]

That's very sad -- so young. Prayers for his family.

Billy Bob Thornton wrote this song within hours of learning from Budrock of Poodie Locke’s passing. He kindly shares it with all who knew and loved Poodie and miss him. Here are the lyrics, and a link follows where you can listen to the song.


“HE’S JUST MAKING HIS ROUNDS”



EVERY TIME IT RAINS I’LL THINK ABOUT HIM
SAYIN’ COME ON BOYS LET’S TAKE THE BEER INSIDE
EVERY TIME THERE’S TROUBLE I’LL THINK ABOUT HIM
SAYIN’ COME ON BOYS HOLD YOUR GROUND DON’T HIDE

EVERY TIME WILLIE SINGS WHISKEY RIVER
I’LL TAKE A DRINK AND TOAST THE MIDNIGHT SKY
FROM WACO DOWN TO LUCK THE STARS WILL SHIVER
AS THE BIG MAN ON THE HILLTOP PASSES BY

HE’S JUST MAKIN’ HIS ROUNDS
IN ANOTHER LONELY TOWN
WAITIN’ FOR THE FAMILY TO ROLL IN
HE’S JUST MAKIN’ HIS ROUNDS
IN A BRAND NEW KINDA TOWN
THAT’S BIG ENOUGH TO HOLD ALL HIS FRIENDS

EVERY TIME I ROLL THE DICE I’LL THINK ABOUT HIM
SAYIN’ THAT’S IT SON JUST ROLL EM OUT AND PRAY
EVERY TIME WIN OR LOSE I KNOW I’LL HEAR HIM
SAYIN’ SON YOU PLAYED THE GAME SO IT’S OKAY

Here is link to Billy Bob and the Box Masters singing the song:
