Well, we might get into a tussle over "decent," but the obvious
candidate here might be Ted Nugent. And up through the '70s he was
pretty defensible.

"...it's a lonesome thing to be passing small towns
with the lights shining sideways when the night is down,
or going in strange places with a dog nosing before you
and a dog nosing behind, or drawn to the cities where
you'd hear a voice kissing and talking deep love in every
shadow of the ditch, and you passing on with an empty,
hungry stomach failing from your heart."
