"A worn-out tape of Chris LeDoux, lonely women and bad booze...seem to be the only friends I've left at all." --Garth Brooks

Chris LeDoux, a former world champion bareback rider who parlayed songs about the rodeo life into a successful country music career, died Wednesday from complications of liver cancer. He was 56.

I saw him at a fair in Salt Lake City about 1982. He was too young to go.
