One of the things I don't want to lose is my rock and roll tendencies. I hate to admit it, but sometimes, when I'm doing True West history, I get tagged as a little too mainstream for my own tastes.
"The 47 First Loves of A Soiled Dove"

This book—cover designed by Dan The Man Harshberger—is in the National Cowboy Hall of Fame gift shop because one of the songs, “Burnin’ Vein,” won a Wrangler Award for music composition. On Saturday night Bones (Alan Birkelbach), Karla K. Morton, and Michael Martin Murphy received Wrangler Awards. Speaking for the group, Michael Martin Murphy dropped this little bombshell during his acceptance speech.
“[This book] was illustrated by the wildest Western artist in history, Bob Boze Bell.”
—Michael Martin Murphy
