First thing I thought of when I heard that Billy Graham had died was Explo '72, held here 46 summers ago. The festival was otherwise known as "the religious Woodstock" to people — like its organizer, Billy Graham — who clearly hadn't attended Woodstock. Second thing I thought of was the immortal song "Pancho and Lefty," which Townes Van Zandt always insisted he wrote in a cheap motel to which he'd been exiled because of Graham and "all this religiosity going on in Dallas."How Billy Graham closed down Dallas and co-wrote Townes Van Zandt's 'Pancho and Lefty' [Robert Wilonsky, The Dallas Morning News]
