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.

Celebrations- Another Weight Gain Disaster!
Bring on the holidays with family & cheer, Where turkey & stuffing is better than beer. When pulling the pants up, seems like a chore, I'll get another plate, and undo them once more. For only one time a year, do you eat and rejoice, Until you look in the mirror, and scream - with no voice. What in the hell happened, to my 24-inch waist, I totally expanded it, without missing a taste. Yes it's the time of the year, where the tables are full, Of yummy sweet treats and heart clogging-oil pools. That drip off so easily, from the fork to the mouth, With each little bite, it's heading down South. Oh, yes I love this time, with my family and friends, It's just that I wonder, after it all too soon ends. When the New Year rings in, and it's all said and done, And they see me next year, "Who was that-hon?" For the pounds I'll have packed on- just a innocent few, Now lurk undercover, I thought nobody knew. I'll make New Years resolutions, you know about those, Join a gym, taking up running, come on-what a joke!
There may be days when you get up in the morning and things aren't the way you had hoped they would be. That's when you have to tell yourself that things will get better. There are times when people disappoint you and let you down. But those are the times when you must remind yourself to trust your own judgments and opinions, to keep your life focused on believing in yourself. There will be challenges to face and changes to make in your life, and it is up to you to accept them.
constantly keep yourself headed in the right direction for you. It may not be easy at times, but in those times of struggle you will find a stronger sense of who you are. So when the days come that are filled with frustration and unexpected responsibilities, remember to believe in yourself and all you want your life to be. Because the challenges and changes will only help you to find the goals that you know are meant to come true for you.
To all my friends and Family : May we remember those before us, be thankfull for all that is around us. Enjoy joyfull gatherings, have lots of love in our lives. We wish happiness to you this Thanksgiving and all through the year.
