Intense looking dude or not, the man wrote "A Boy Named Sue." I'll show up for anything that can possibly become a Shel Silverstein appreciation post.

A song, actually. Silverstein wrote the Johnny Cash song "A Boy Named Sue. "

My man wrote children’s books and poetry but also enjoyed drugs and was a hippy (not the dirty stinky kind, more just a counter culture guy). He rules. Check out his songs, it makes it all kind of come together.

He wrote a ton of great stories. He just also happens to look like the guy being described in most Creature Feature songs
