Songs About People # 772 Warren Oates

'Sitting here bending notes, all the hipsters look like Warren Oates...'

Warren Oates was something of an all-American Existential hero due to his appearance in a number of great 'New Hollywood' films in the Sixties and Seventies. Danny & Dusty, a collective built around Green on Red's Dan Stuart and Dream Syndicate's Steve Wynn, recognised this fact, and recognised Oates with this song on their 2007 reunion album Cast Iron Soul.
