Living in Texas you hear a lot of people say Bob Wills is still the king. I know Waylon Jennings said it in a song but most people couldn't pick Bob Wills out of a line much less name any of his songs or explain what western swing even was. Besides Ray Price was not only better but had a larger influence on modern music,
You can say the same thing with the Grateful Dead. I have seen a lot more people sporting deadhead stickers than I have seen listening to their music. Most are fans of the fandom more than to art itself. You they have some dies hard fans who love their music but when I see a 20 years wearing them on a shirt I want to ask them to name two songs and I would give them Truckin as the first song.
