...didn't matter. Billy was in his element, reveling in himself, his nouveau wealth, his friends-good ole boys and all -and the members of his family about whom he still cares. Actually Billy cares about a lot of people and things, but he chooses, for reasons Freud could explain even if Billy could not, to express his caring through outrageous behavior and flamboyantly bad taste.

...Ole Wayne L.," as they call former Representative Wayne Hays in Ohio, just won't stay down on his farm. Having resigned from Congress in 1976 because of a scandal over his secretary, Elizabeth Ray, Hays is now running for the Ohio house of representatives.

Buffett grew up in Mobile, Alabama, listening to the same Hank Williams and Jimmy Rodgers classics that whelped the Grand Ole Opry Empire of the Nashville Moguls, a philistine crew who breed for violin affinity, not for rasp'n'roll or the truckstop gut-wrench. But the Buffett derivation went the other way, toward the fringes. Lotta room out there on the fringes: Willie Nelson and Waylon "I Don't Think Hank Done...
