Homer Henderson – the fiery, hilarious renegade songwriter and one-man band – has passed away, though details of his death are as obscure as the records he put out.
The singer/guitarist/drummer/harmonica-player , real name Phil Bennison, co-wrote and performed"Lee Harvey Was a Friend of Mine," an underground 1985 single about a childhood friendship with the alleged JFK assassin that's been so often covered – including by Asylum Street Spankers, Laura Cantrell, and Oswald's girlfriend Judyth Vary Baker – it qualifies as a folk song.
"I think we wrote most of it while we were driving around drinking Slurpees and smoking weed," the Continental Club and Antone's regular, raised in North Texas, told theHenderson specialized in Norton Records-style raw blues but also treaded in novelty music, like the humorous"Hillbilly Pecker" about being uncircumcised. Sadly, the Austinite's brash demeanor involved – in recent years – using racist language to express right-wing beliefs.
