vid: roger miller is better than just about anyone

Big River -- Roger Miller's adaptation of Huckleberry Finn -- is largely looked down upon by the musicals world, probably because it comes from the world of real country music and not that Best Little Whorehouse world, but it's actually as good as anything I've heard from the "legit" musicals world in a very long time.

My love for Roger Miller goes back to my childhood. Always loved him. "Chug A Lug" was my gateway song. He was to Nashville as Johnny Mercer was to Hollywood: the restless intellect and most articulate human heart on the block. Along with Bob Dylan, the greatest songwriter of the 1960s.
