The First Shall be Last, and The Last First: "You can tell my arms to go back to the farm . . . But don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart." It looks like he was a farmer, or more likely a rancher. See the cattle brand? So, he did have a farm to go back to: with his achy breaky heart. He probably added the e to his name just to move him forward a wee bit in alphabetical order. He would have been in his 50s when Billy Ray Cyrus commanded the stage with "Achy Breaky Heart," but (regardless of the orthographical irregularity) he probably got ribbed just a wee bit by his friends. But, at least he had his ribs to protect his heart. Oregon Trail Memorial Park. [2019]
