Buried deep in this heartwarming tale about Tre Merrit, a 5-year-old who shot and killed a 445 pound bear (how does this have anything to do with music? Patience, please) is the perfect little nugget below. Since Merrit is a direct descendent of Davy Crockett, the article goes into a quick bio of the famed "19th-century American folk hero, frontiersman, soldier and politician," hitting itspeak with this:
"Crockett passed through Arkansas on his way from Tennessee to Texas inPrefix asks of you--does this mean Kool Keith, who not so long ago spoke
1835. While at a Little Rock (Pulaski County) banquet given in his
honor, he reportedly stated, 'If I could rest anywhere it would be in
Arkansas, where the men are of the real half-horse, half-alligator breed
such as grow nowhere else on the face of the universal earth but just
around the backbone of North America.'"
of the dangers of the half-shark, half-alligator man is the second coming of Crockett?! It would explain so much. We're sending a pair of hard-nosed private eyes down to Tennessee just in case. Check back with Prefix as the story develops.
