I loved hee-haw growing up. Jack (bovinehost) reintroduced me to his honky-tonk. He will be missed.

Wow... I remember watching "Hee Haw" as a kid. Sad to hear of Buck's passing.

Bad news.

He was the real deal. We'll be playing "Tiger by the Tail" in his honor next weekend.

A very sad day.


The loss of a legend who was never afraid to speak his mind.

Owens, elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1996, was modest when describing his aspirations.

“I’d like to be remembered as a guy that came along and did his music, did his best and showed up on time, clean and ready to do the job, wrote a few songs and had a hell of a time,” he said in 1992.

that's how it's done fella's !!!!!

Oh, man.....I thought he was already dead. But then again, I think that about a lot of celebrities.

having said that, this is very sad news. RIP Buck.

So sorry to hear about Bucks passing. A friend of mine grew up in Bakersfield and he always spoke very highly of Buck. I remember watching Hee Haw when I was a kid. My favorite part was with Buck and Roy, " I'm a pickin... And I'm a Grinnin" Awesome musicianship, corny humor, and hot chicks. What a show.
