Every year. This happens EVERY year. You look to start the year off with someone you can REALLY make fun of. Someone crazy, or self absorbed, or stupid, or whatever. We get THIS guy. Yeah - is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but in the section titled "The guys who never did anything dangerous - ever". Gonna be a good year.
