Song: "Trip to Little Big Horn"

[Diane Merkel]

The following is an excerpt from an article about country music singer Marty Stuart. I think I'm glad that I've never heard of him. . . .

After the Superlatives returned to the stage, Stuart told about one of his three upcoming albums, Badlands, which, he explained, is a tribute to and defense of Native Americans. "I want to sing you a song," he said, "about when George Custer got what was coming to him." The party-prone crowd did not cheer at this suspiciously anti-establishment intro, but it was properly appreciative of the band's stellar performance of the song itself, "Trip to Little Big Horn," which repeats the line, "The general's still dead."

I read in the Memphis newspaper that good ol' Marty was arrested in Nashville several weeks ago for drunk driving! Seems the Nashville police were not impressed with his celebrity status. There are other Marty Stuart stories.....the guy's a loser.
