Carter's family mingled with the crowd. His eight-year-old daughter Amy, who runs a 100-a-glass lemonade stand on the side, raced around barefoot and carefree.

Before Dylan satirized outlaw myths in "Joey," Buffett was already sick of them--he sings about being an unwilling accomplice in a robbery that netted "fifteen dollars and a can of STP/A big ole jar of cashew nuts and a Japanese T.V." Then, while he and his buddy are getting drunk on the money, a sheriff comes, He roughed us, then he cuffed us, And he took us off to jail. No picture on a poster, no reward, and no bail...
