Billy Joe shot a dude outside a bar and he walked.

Shaver claimed self-defense and was acquitted. “I am very sorry about the incident,” Shaver said afterward. “Hopefully, things will work out where we become friends enough so that he gives me back my bullet.” I like this guy.

Billy Joe shot a dude outside a bar and he walked.His song "Whacko from Waco" explains it. RIP Billy Joe....finally crossed that river.

No pretense in his performances on stage. The only flash came from his brilliant music, simply sung.
R.I.P. Billy Joe Shaver.

Johnny Paycheck also shot a man at a bar and also merely wounded the man and also used a ,22, but he did hard time.

I purchased my first Shaver cd “Salt of the Earth” from a bargain bin many, many years ago. Remains one of my top 20 cd’s every. How Billy Joe carried on after the death of his son must have been difficult even for the hard-nosed outlaw like Billy. RIP

And did it with two fingers missing off his right hand, not that it would affect his songwriting abilities, but still...

A true legend indeed. My wife and I saw him with a full band in a tiny venue in Virginia a few years ago. I’ve been to many live shows and that was in my top five. I’m glad I got to see him perform before he died.
