I can't find it anywhere, but when he was on the radio he told a great story about a time he had in Vegas, where he was supposed to meet with some famous client. He was instructed not to be drunk, not to bring anyone and not to touch him, and was given $2,000 for expenses.
He doubled his $2,000 at the blackjack tables, got drunk with some floozies and brought them to his meeting, where he gave the client a big hug. He was denied the job, passed out soon after and woke up in a casino gutter with his money stolen, when he heard You Were Meant for Me playing in the building. He went back in, made a scene about how he was going to get royalties and got thrown out

Damn, I'd like to see that. He's seems a funny guy that enjoys himself. Lifes too short not to, right?
