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.

but it is one heck of a lot easier to learn other people's musical languages than it is to learn their verbal languages. No grammar or spelling required. Just a listeninh ear and an open mind. And the mind doesn'y even have to be open all the way.

Most venues were byob and the patrons would pass the bottles to the band members. Not me, I always handed Willie a joint.
There’s a Mike Judge animation Tales From the Tour Bus and one episode is about the Outlaws. I had no idea Waylon Jennings was a coke addict. Spent millions on his habit. Willie wasn’t into or interested in coke and Waylon didn’t care anything about cannabis.
