He lives in San Francisco now so life may be a little more relaxed for him.

Whatever his personal situation, I have always looked up to him as a spokesperson for those of us who want more out of life than clock-punching as well as for being a defender of the idea that capable people can make at least a meager living by creating art.
Actually he worked as a waiter while making the first few records. I'm not sure what his age would be an argument against?

I think his San Francisco transformation may be why i'm so bored by his newer material.

Pretty much any good artist is a spokesperson for life outside of societal confines right?
