Stevie Ray Vaughan Statue
In contrast to the Philosophers' Rock, Ralph Roehming's bronze tribute to Austin guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan is artificial and awkward. Although he's wearing his habitual flat-brimmed hat and poncho, the stiffly posed Stevie Ray looks more like a frontiersman with a gun than a rock star with a guitar. But his devoted fans don't seem to mind, as evidenced by the flowers and devotions that almost always can be found at the foot of the statue.
