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.

I live in California and I need your help getting alternative medication ツ for my spine injury and subsequent mental breakdown. I have been unable to work and have been on workers’ compensation for almost 3 years now due to a misdiagnosed and mistreated work injury. I’m currently taking 12 prescription medications twice a day including multiple pain and psych meds. When the pain gets exceptionally bad I have to drink alcohol with the pain meds just to get through the day. Drs have stated that my chronic pain and psych problems make me an excellent candidate to benefit from medical marijuana legally used per California state law. My Drs are unable to prescribe it for me but have given me the ok to see a Dr that does prescribe it without assistance from any insurance. That will cost me $150 to see the Dr and get my card for the first year and whatever the amount is to get the medication itself. I have tons of bills from being off work for 3 years and just don’t have the money.
I’m asking for help to cover the costs of medical marijuana for my own, legal, private use. I should be able to afford it if some of you could please help by sending me just one dollar cash in an envelope. I want to sleep again, overcome my agoraphobia, spend my days with decreased pain, decreased anxiety and decreased depression. I want to decrease my use of prescription medications before I permanently damage my body. Thank you very much for any support you can give me.
