Yacht Rock pioneer and Best Singer EVER Michael McDonald on how cool he was, back in the day: "I don't want it to sound like I'm bragging about smoking pot, but there was a time when that was a big part of our day. Smoking in the morning was normal. But a lot of things became normal to me. Seizures, pissing my pants, waking up in a hotel room with the New York City police at the foot of my bed became normal." (After the jump, the making of the best song ever, "Peg." McDonald goodness at 6:20.) [TONY]
