In four hundred words or less, this is what happened form early adolescence until now:
I broke out of the grip of Catholicism and made it through adolescence without killing myself in a car. I flunked out of college. I learned to play the guitar, lived on the beach, lived in the French Quarter, finally got laid, and didn't go to Viet Nam. I got back into school, started a band, got a job on Bourbon Street, graduated from college, flunked my draft physical, broke up my band, and went out on the road solo.
I signed a record deal, got married, moved to Nashville, had my guitars stolen, bought a Mercedes, worked at Billboard Magazine, put out my first album, went broke, wrecked the Mercedes, got divorced, and moved to Key West. I sang and worked on a fishing boat, went totally crazy, did a lot of dope, met the right girl, made another record, had a hit, bought a boat, and sailed away to the Carribean.
I started another band, worked the road, had my second and last hit, bought a house in Aspen, started spending summers in New England, got married, broke my leg three times in one year, had a baby girl, made more records, bought a bigger boat, and sailed away to St. Barts. I got seperated from the right girl, sold the boat, sold the house in Aspen, moved back to Key West, worked the road, and made more records. I rented an apartment in Paris, went to Brazil for Carnival, learned to fly, went into therapy, quit doing dope, bought my first seaplane, flew all over the Carribean, almost got a second divorce, moved to Malibu for more therapy, and got back with the right girl.
I worked the road, moved back to Nashville, took off in an F-14 from an aircraft carrier, bought a summer home on Long Island, had another baby girl. I found the perfect seaplane and moved back to Florida. Cameron Marley joined me in the house of women. I built a home on Long Island, crashed the perfect seaplane, lived through it thanks to Navy training, tried to slow down a little, woke up one morning and I was looking at fifty, trying to figure what comes next.
You have to take the best from whatever the situation is and go on. That's the whole point of the music to me. All through American history populist singers and humorists have served as the nation's tickle spot, people like Will Rogers and Mark Twain. I see myself in that vein and fulfilling that sort of responsibility. I give people a few shots. It's as much a satirical pinprick as anything else. You just have to remind people of the day-to-day funny things. When I write songs, I look for interesting little innuendoes or pieces of situations everybody has experienced.

MY LETTER TO CONGRESSMEN TO BAN BURMESE PYTHONS AND ANACONDAS Your Honor:
No doubt you heard the news about the baby that was recently eaten by a pet snake in the news in Florida. Well, people who own these Burmese pythons and other huge snakes (like Anacondas) are sick perverts-they literally trap stray cats and answer free to good home cats and dogs, puppies and kittens-and use them as SNAKE FOOD! They get off watching these animals SLOWLY die as their bones break and suffocate as the snake constricts them. Death is NOT quick. They SUFFER! As these animals' bones break, these people get off watching it; that's why they keep these snakes because they are sadists!-it's a sick perversion they have. No different than those crush kitten videos that are being circulated all over America (there are a lot of perverts). BAN THESE HUGE SNAKES! Please! They are invading Florida as people turn them loose when they get too big, used for hideous animal cruelty, or are used as instruments of murder such as a means of getting rid of their children under the guise of an "accident."
