E179 human Layng Martine, Jr. wrote an essay for the NY Times Modern Love section about life with his wife after a tragic accident left her paralyzed. That essay blossomed into his book, Permission to Fly. In it, the hit songwriter (Elvis, Reba, Trisha Yearwood, among others) writes of his childhood misadventures, including a (possibly) near fatal car ride with a couple of (probably) serial killers, ruining a pool party at Benny Goodman’s, and nearly getting arrested a time or two. He shares a few of the stories (and a few extra) on this episode.
