It takes a one-of-a-kind reader to receive a memorial library while still turning pages. Rod Gator is the self-proclaimed “rock-and-roll Mr. Rogers” who merits such a bartop borrowing-bookshelf in his honor. When he isn’t working the Sagebrush door with a paperback in hand, you can find the Louisiana native singing in metal band Trip Cigs or his eponymous solo songwriter project. The actor and advocate boasts an eclectic selection at the storied honky-tonk, with horror favorites from Stephen King, memoirs of entertainers and politicians, science-fiction flicks, and classic novels, all embossed with the librarian’s own muscular visage.
