A very under-rated artist. McMurtry is at his best when he's telling a story usually about people assumed on the outside the lines of the "real world" but where McMurtry is a genius is shedding the light on the reality that we all know, live with and see these people all the time, they are all of us. His characters are both the bizarre and everyday people who are just trying to get through the bullshit, "it's a damn short movie".
He can connect the dots with the common everyday things that flash through our minds during incredible moments of life, maybe it's realizing you left a pack of cigarettes on the dash during a hurricane, or the biker bar in Baxter Springs you pass by on a family reunion or that fucking rattle in the dashboard as you hunt down a girl. This is a funny video to match the song. This song reminds me of Choctaw Bingo a little, so I'll tie in that video too.
