Gram Parsons 1973-03-??
Gram Parson's Tour Bus, Boston, MA
Set 1
Canadian writer/musician Michael Bate had a chance encounter with Gram Parsons' tour bus in Boston, MA, in March 1973 — it would be Parsons’ last interview. He died of an overdose six months later at the Joshua Tree Inn.
Gram is lucid and engaging throughout, talking about rumors behind the authorship of The Rolling Stones’ song Wild Horses, his friendship with Keith Richards and Mick Jagger, The Byrds celebrated Grand Old Opry appearance and why he split from the band, his disdain for Lee Hazlewood and respect for Waylon Jennings — and of course, Emmylou Harris and the story behind how they met.
These are just a few of the many topics Gram speaks candidly about; his critique of 1970's Nashville is as prescient today as it was in ’73.
