This is a joke, right? The National Forest Service doesn't put up markers to commemorate people like Gram Parsons or celebrity overdoses.
This LA Times article mentions make-shift markers in the park, but that's about all there is. Have you been to Joshua Tree?

I've been maybe 50 times? have stayed in room 8 about 10
Honest question here, hbw...
Why have you stayed in that room? Personally, I cannot fathom the fascination with death sites. Just curious.

actually soothing and peaceful--a nice laid back vibe.

Interesting, to say the least!
What is the vibe like in that particular room?
I don't think I could get a good night's sleep there...

Are there any known pictures of Keith and Gram after Summer of 1971? Gram was kicked out of Nellcote in ~July 1971, and he wasn't very welcome on the 1972 tour so I wonder if they actually met in 1973.

According to Robert Greenfield in "Exile On Main Street : A Season in Hell..." once Gram is booted from Nellcote, he and Keith never see each other again.

I just got notice from Kickstarter that the Gram Parsons Live CD will be shipping this week to those who contributed. The Vinyl will ship in November.
Yay!

The bad news is, the marker states unequivocally that the song Wild Horses was written by Parsons and Keith Richards.
I've made park officials aware.

I remember reading somewhere the Stones heard the Byrds were going on tour and asked Gram why he wasn't heading to meet them and basically said he'd rather hang out there, and they kind of got disillusioned with his work ethic and told him to hit the road.

Funny, I saw a guitar player in Memphis once that had "a friend of a friend who knew Jackson Brown" (for whatever that's worth) that claimed Jagger/Richards stole it from Parsons who wrote it about Emmylou Harris. He stuck to his story even though I said I don't think he'd even met Emmylou when it was recorded by the Stones.

I don' t get why Keith , if he was best friends , would never see him again what what transpired at Nellcote.Wat difference does it make if Gram was lazy. He was not playing on Stones records.

Gram says in this video he first heard Wild Horses right after Altamont. Mick played him the recording.
