Songbird! Lee Hazlewood
This is what would have happened if you'd asked him for a lighter...
Brighton, East Sussex. “I’ve got a light for you,” said Lee Hazlewood to Stool Pigeon contributor Ross Holden backstage at a Brighton show in 2004, three years before he died. The genius country and pop songwriter then produced a black Clipper inscribed with the following message: GET YOUR OWN FUCKING LIGHTER. Later, the former muse of Nancy Sinatra called Ross over and handed him a different lighter — one that he’d picked up in Singapore. “Have it,” he said and walked off.
