The latest hero in my exclusive TaxableAllocation! series is The Reverend Horton Heat. If you know me, chances are good that you know this already. Perhaps you attended a Rev show with me. Perhaps you carried me out of a Reverend show after I was no longer able to stand. Regardless what I have to say, this guy is rock, country, blues, swing, bluegrass, and a bit of sass. He's payed his dues as a guitar man -- here pictured playing with Screamin' Jay Hawkin's mid 80s -- and has got the skills to show from it. I did get a chance to shake his hand and tell him that he was my Guitar Hero. He humbly thanked me and mentioned that it had been a good career for him, despite what his parents had to say about it.

Wait a minute! I carried you out of a Rev show when you weren't able to stand anymore.

I think he was about 3 songs into his set.

Yeah, I remember not remembering that! I woke up on your couch with one leg of my jeans torn from cuff to knee...
