There was a punk(-ish) song which contained the lyrics...

 John Wayne
 thought he was a cowboy
 but he was an actor

Do you know the name of the song or the artist?

As the orginal poster of the question lives in the San Francisco Bay
Area, he is likely spared the ordeal of having to watch that particular
unsavoury rerun.

Having to?  You mean you blokes in the UK are mandated by

Only American ones.
Fortunately, we are permitted occasionally to watch _good_ shows like
the afore-mentioned Nevermind the Buzzcocks.

Last week saw a particularly fine example, with Jah Wobble.

Hope you got a *lot* of money.

Checked out Bay Area housing prices lately? (There's
a reason we lived here for more than 10 years before
buying a house. And no, the rents aren't any better.)

well Dan thanks just the same, i thought of you since you always incorporate
a lyric in your sig (BTW do you hand type those or do you have dB link that
inserts them, I've always wanted to ask).

some of the other fellas came up with some ideas, be panning them out later.

it's only driving me a little mad, today's wonderful events (here in the
office not at large) have evened the keel a tad.

Neither. I have a big file of them (I add to it when
I think of more), and just grab the one that seems
appropriate to me at the time.

Currently, there are just shy of 500 entries.

Could be

"John Wayne is big leggy", by Haysi Fantayzee.

Bloody useless they were too.

Or

"John Wayne" by the long defunct band Iggy Pop's Jacket.

In the line of duty I've just played JWIBL by
Haysi F and I don't think it's that, tho' the
lyrics are somewhat vague in places due to the
murky production.

Agreed.

I'm sure he types them all in by hand. I know I do. They don't
actually have any kind of computer programs that can do that yet, do
they?
