Bidding Adieu to Bud Shrake
Journalist and author Bud Shrake died yesterday. He was a Texas archetype with my home state’s uniquely expansive sense of humor and political history, as you’ll see in this clip from an interview he did recently with Texas Monthly president and editor-in-chief, Evan Smith. Note the connection with Jack Ruby, who shot JFK’s assassin Lee Harvey Oswald.
Larry McMurtry, probably my favorite Texas writer, rated Shrake “an intriguing talent, far superior to his drinking buddies,” the latter clause of which might have been the ultimate compliment. He’ll be laid to rest next to the late Gov. Ann Richards who often said theirs was the best relationship she ever had.
