I know he's not drunk. It's all a part of his act. I think he's awesome! Bilco nailed it... "Zappa on Valium." LMAO! I pulled that song out of a live recording I have. I have 4 awesome live shows from the '80's.

He's not drunk... he's Leon Redbone!

I meant to spell interpretative music in my last post.Forgive my lack of editing.

Has no one hear ever taken interprative music?If you've ever gotten your heart broken or been jilted you are going to rage , beat your fist(on the microphone),wail,(like a cat or dog)like he did in his song.Think about how much voice control it took to reach the voice effect he was trying to get.He did this on purpose and you all are confounded with his yodeling and wailing.He is an amazing artist and is laughing for being an enigma to you.

@silviodantejr "Zappa on Valium" !!! HA thats awesome!

You simply could not pull off these vocal gymnastics if you were drunk. It's just damn clever.

Chances are good that he WAS drunk. Leon loves him his Jagermeister and has been known to perform when quite "loose" shall we say. A few bottles of booze are required to be in the dressing room for his performances.

Not drunk, just having fun with the song.

I, too, saw Leon in Ann Arbor. I had a roommate there who ran lights at various venues and he personally witnessed Leon and his tuba player getting HAMMERED on a fifth of Jack Daniels before going on stage. He sure appeared intoxicated to me. Maybe it is an act --sometimes -- but I have it on solid authority that that's not the case other times (like when I saw him).

That said, Leon rocks, drunk or otherwise.
