I'm from Texas, and one of the reasons I like Texas is because there's no one in control.

As adults we try to relax from the never-ending quest for reason and order by drinking a little whiskey or smoking whatever works for us, but the wisdom isn't in the whiskey or the smoke. The wisdom is in the moments when the madness slips away and we remember the basics.

There's a freedom you begin to feel the closer you get to Austin, Texas.

There are only so many notes so there must be only so many melodies.

I think I'm basically the same guy I always was. Maybe I've learned, through experience, to rein in some of the anger and temper they say redheads normally have.

My doctor tells me I should start slowing it down - but there are more old drunks than there are old doctors so let's all have another round.
