As for "authorized" I'd like to think Shelby would read the unseemly moments and think, "Well, $#it, that's pretty much what happened..." but only Shelby and perhaps Rinsey could answer that.

Oh, another tidbit: That whole, "left the chicken farm in a hurry to get to the races so he showed up in his farmer overalls" story? Not true, according to the "authorized biography". But I'll let you guys read that one for yourself.
