I've actually met him in a bar once - I asked him if it was true that his fame led him to be given far more than the usual hobo beggings, including newspaper interviews, radio spots, and even a fancy house in the hills he house-sat for a few months. He imparted his words of wisdom, replying "everything I got, I earned." Then he sauntered off in his leopard-print miniskirt, leather jacket and full beard and got himself another beer. I don't know what that means, but damn if I wasn't proud I talked with a celebrity!
