My first thought was Steve Forbert--singer-songwriter, some success but not wildly famous, and does write songs about relationships at times. My second guess is Steve Earle. Of the era, famous, but not totally famous, singer-songwriter, and Texas connection. Another Texan is Stevie Ray Vaughn, but not really a match for the song writing.(less)

He has written, (maybe more ), but I've read the following: One Day, Starter for Ten, and The Understudy. All by David Nicholls. I believe he even mentions Nick Hornby in one of them.

Even though you know what is going to happen you will catch how well the actors mimicked the characters described in the book. There is nothing as good as the inner thoughts of a character in Hornby's books. But the movies did a damned good job of this by the narrators voice. It was "bang on"!(less)
