Such a wild long haired rocker in the 80's but now has opened shelters that serve food all over the country to the homeless. Unlike most celebrities, he has been married to the same woman for 20 years. He rocks. Thank goodness there are places like that to stop on that turnpike, driven there before. Your poems are easy for me to relate to. I like them so much, I could read them all night
