I've been tired of his song for awhile. It was time for a change.
Back in the late 70's he used to play regularly at a bar I worked at. While the band broke down the equipment we used to drink Jack Daniels together and just shoot the breeze. He seemed like a decent fellow and used to call out my name when he came in the bar. It had a "Norm" like feel to it. He's a good memory.
Anyway, entertainers need to stay out of politics.
