One of the titans of the Austin outlaw music scene of the 70s, and the man for making "Mr. Bojangles" into an Americana standard, Jerry Jeff Walker has passed away at the age of 78:
"I don't think of myself as a star. I didn't set out to become a star, I set out to become a singer. I would have sung no matter what. The star part is just something that they made up in Hollywood in 1930."--Linda Ronstadt
