Not apparently Lamar Odom. . . . , I'm just sayin' (I'm reminded of the lyrics from the Dwight Yokum song I'm working on: "You know my friends keeps telling me You're not a kid at 33 Play around you loose you wife Play too long you loose your life." ) Isn't that Danny O'Keefe

Of course it is, and Danny knows how to spell "lose," too! Some of us are just born loosers. (Be wary of drones bearing cans of spray paint)

Au contraire, Marshall -- it was a hit single for Danny much earlier:
"Good Time Charlie's Got the Blues" is a song written and performed by Danny O'Keefe. It was first recorded by O'Keefe in 1967, but not released. It was recorded by The Bards and released in 1968 as the b-side to the song "Tunesmith" on Parrot Records. The Bards were a band from Moses Lake, Washington.[1] The song was recorded by O'Keefe for his self-titled debut album in 1971.[2] The following year he re-recorded it (with a slower, more downbeat arrangement) for his second album, O'Keefe.[3] The second version was issued as a single, reaching #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, #5 on the adult contemporary chart, and #63 on the country chart.[4] The song was also covered by Mel Tormé, especially for a 1986 episode of NBC's Night Court entitled "Leon, We Hardly Knew Ye". It was covered by numerous artists. A cover by Leon Russell peaked at number 63 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart in 1984.[5]

And the billboard between Seattle and Tacoma said, "Will the last person leaving Seattle please turn out the lights." I remember Charlie Rich doing it about '80 or so.
