The guy has the goods as a musician. He just has a reputation for saying
really inappropriate things from the bandstand. On the other hand, all the
conversations Corrie (my wife and business partner) has had with him about
the upcoming appearance at SXSW has found him to be nothing less than
gracious and appreciative. As long as he shows up, does a good show and
says thanks, I'll walk away happy.
BTW, Chris Lawrence, his axeman, is amazing.
