Incredible song. Written by Don Schlitz when he was 23 years old.

The only problem with the song is that in order to understand how truly good it is, you’ll be too old to benefit from the lesson it teaches.

See if you can find the version of this song they did for “The Muppet Show” when Kenny Rogers was a special guest.

It was both comical and creepy, with a muppet character singing the duet with Rogers on a train ride. The muppet dude was drinking and smoking, and died in his sleep — on a kid’s show! LOL.

Who was without peer. For as you know, when you're out of Schlitz, you're out of peer.

Saw Kenny ‘in the round’ in the early 80’s. The Gatlin Brothers opened. In the middle of a song, Larry stopped and told the crowd to pipe down and respect the music. Still dead to me.

I don’t know if the Muppet Show was really for kids. PeeWee’s Playhouse certainly had adult content.

My favorite song by that singer:

Crazy Feeling--Kenneth Rogers (1958)

He also sang "I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in". It's like watching a porno movie that your parish priest made 40 years ago. Very strange.

Married five times, has five kids.......

He certainly knew when to screw them, and knew when to lose them.
