2He wrote good stuff.
I remember making an excuse to work on my car out on the driveway when my mother in-law came over. She always made a point to raise her voice when criticizing me, just so I could hear. I had the radio on when that song came on. This was 1970, it had been around a while even then. I cranked the volume up. She didn't see the humor in it.

5Many people have no idea who the man was because he was almost shy. He's been inducted into a lot of different halls of fame and has been generous with the city of NOLA over the years. On a very nasty note and I apologize for it I can think of a lot of people I would have rather see dead than him. His song book of his own compositions is enormous, a true genius.
