| Chris LeDoux Dies at 56
I'm not sure if any of you are country or rodeo fans but today is a sad sad day. One of my heros Chris LeDoux, World Champion bareback rider and country music legend died today. I feel a hole in the world that will never be filled. He was such a great guy. Here's a link to the story http://www.mlive.com/newsflash/enter...=entertainment |

I almost hate country music. Just because i live in kentucky doesnt mean i have to like country music.And i am far from a redneck.Thats kinda like saying that because you live in florida you are 70 years old.

He is and always will be one of a kind. I don't think I have heard a Chris LeDoux song I didn't like. He was quite the story teller! Tonight I will toast a cold one in his honor! |

Man, I didn't know he was having all those problems. He sure will be missed, but his CD's will be long lived in my truck. I guess the next thing that will happen is Asleep at the Wheel will break up, or Ray will pass. That guy is full throttle, but toning down. |

I am so sad to hear that. I have his box set and many of his cd's. I have been a fan for many many years and saw him in concert at the Greely Stampede here in Colorado. He was a man like no other and will be missed.

I know exactly how you feel. I've be Chris fan since way back in high school and all the way through my college years. I was listening to Chris before that fat ass Garth Brooks ever even mentioned his name in a song. I don't even have his CD's all I have are tapes, they are so old. I went to a rodeo college so you could only imagine how big he was. Yesturday on my way home one of the radio stations played one of Chris' song called "skatter my ashes". The song was so fitting and I almost had to pull over. I have a lot of really good memories that are tied to that man some how or another. He will be truely missed in my world. I'm just glad to see I'm not the only one. Peace brothers. Last edited by Texrok; 03-10-2005 at 12:32 PM. | |

I went to an ag school (Colorado State University), and after getting kicked out spent a few years werking as a salebarn hand, and did a little cowboyin'. All my buddies were die hard rodeo cowboys and they used to tell stories about Chris. Many, many, drunken nights were spent listening to his songs in college and afterwards. For our weddin my wife and I picked "Look at you girl" to be our song. Quote:

my brother got me listening to Chris before there was CDs so I had all his tapes and now CDs, his songs are ones that you actually listened to and not just put on as backround music, his songs told stories of the good times and bad times of being on the rodeo circuit and most of the time with a little bit of humor. my favorite song of his has to be "photo finish". I'm raising a cold one to the cloud right now to a singing cowboy. my brother lives in Austrailia now and when he gets through with the days work in the bush, he too will be raising a cold one to the sky. R.I.P. Chris, you know he's taming a bronc right now. |
