Is Dennis Quaid #5?

Ah, Dennis Quaid. He was on the shortlist until he did that disastrous Sharks show at Antone's in 1998.

I agree with Austen. Travis has always been my favorite Texas hero, and I have never understood this.

Good list, Karen.

Also, Earl Campbell is awesome and that article makes me sad.
