Paper Summary:
This paper outlines the life of Shel Silverstein, focusing on his work as an author for Playboy ("The Topless Town"), as a song writer ("A Boy Named Sue"), playwright ("The Lady or the Tiger Show"), children's author ("The Giving Tree"), and poet. The paper also looks briefly at Shel's role as family man.
From the Paper:
"Silverstein was also an accomplished songwriter. His most recognizable song, A Boy Named Sue, became one of country music legend Johnny Cash's biggest hits. He also wrote and arranged Dr. Hook's only smash hit, The Cover of the Rolling Stone. Silverstein's songs, much like his writings and poetry were insightfully whimsical (Llewellyn, 2003)."
