It’s fitting Nelson’s latest set is named for the Frank Sinatra/Sid Vicious signature, which arrives just as far-right internet trolls are wetting themselves over his support of progressive Democrat Senate candidate Beto O’Rourke (“I can’t believe Willie Nelson’s a communist man what a heartbreak” rues one thoughtful observer on the singer’s Facebook page).

I planned to talk to her about our mutual musical obsession -- Bob Dylan -- and her recent breakup with the actor Giovanni Ribisi. (He ended their relationship in March and married the model Agyness Deyn two months later.)

Carlson was working as a sound engineer at legendary crooner Ray Anthony's launch party for the hit song 'Marilyn', which was written by Ervin Drake and Jimmy Shirl.
