Beacon Blues: Jimmie Vaughan's Lifelong Song
Bill Bentley, Austin Chronicle, 16 July 2010

Cut from limestone, it looked as though it had been sitting there forever, one hard rain away from washing into the creek behind it for good. If, by some fluke of nature, 100 people happened to pack in, half of them could have been charged with attempted sodomy, the crowd so thick you couldn't stir them with a stick.
