I remember back in the day hang out in the keys and he sat in with a local. we had some saints garb on and he sent us a couple of pitchers for the table and drank to the saints among a chorus of boos from the locals. It was a blast even though we lost to the buccaneers the next day.

Those were get times back then Jimmy and Petty shows could be had in dives all around Florida.

When is he going to write a #1 song about the Saints?

Ok, does anybody know about his early days?
He says he was there from Day One?
Where is he from?
How did he get to be a fan?

I think he's from Pascagoula, Mississippi or something like that.
Potential FailClown infiltration doesn't start until you get to Alabama, so he was definitely a Saints fan when he was young.

He went to my middle school (Saint Ignatius) and my High School in Mobile Alabama (McGill Toolen). Many of his songs are about our redneck riviera known as Gulf Shores. His sister LuLu has a very popular restaurant down the street in Gulf Shores. I think she's a huge Saints fan as well.

South Alabama is 90% Saints turf.

I have no doubt he was probably a life long Saints fan from the get go.

Most of us here in South Alabama are Saints fans.
