Great song and one of Fred's most interesting lyrics. One you can interpret in very different ways. To me it's an anti-gun statement.

@SirLoinofBeefXX Yeah, he's a drunken social misfit; that never drinks on stage and writes and performs songs that lots of people can relate to, oh yeah, and he is responsible for over 200 kids being supported in third world countries. Hmmmmmmmm.

what an interesting story, proud to be a fred head

No, but he plays one in a lot of his songs - sort of a persona non grata...
He's big into irony, which is still legal in his country, and is actually a very creative and productive guy in the real world, very socially conscious (also still legal in Kanukistan).

my favoret song of his, his lyrics are fantastic



I bought a 1979 Camaro Z/28 earlier this spring and this was the CD that was left in the player (the only one it would play, oddly enough). Well, a live CD of Fred playing his hits. I only listen to this CD because I feel the car itself was telling me to play Fred when I stomped that 30 year old vintage 350 Chevy while going down the highway. I've become a huge fan thanks to that Z/28.

Since you got that car you make like Cooler than Hell by Ray Wylie Hubbard. Some one made a video for the song thats pretty cool as well. Ray is how I stumbled across Fred here with the song alcohol and pills.
