The complicated legacy of Ned Yost

One of the hardest things I find about writing, is writing about someone you don’t know. Sometimes that analysis is interpreted as you like or dislike the person you are writing about. The reality is usually neither. Nearly all of the people I, and others, write about, we really don’t know them. And if you don’t know someone, how do you know if you’d like them or not? Now I’ll admit, Ned Yost seems like someone that I could be friends with. Like me, he’s a bit of a country boy. He likes to hunt. The late Dale Earnhardt and Jeff Foxworthy were counted among his friends.
