...when he wrote the song "Life is Killing Me"
1. He saw an episode of the Andy Griffith show, where Aunt Bea punished Opie harshly for something he didn't exactly do. It was a veiled reference to "Life is killing Bea..."
2. He's secretly a Christian and was preaching cryptically to his audience that true life is when you die to your self, thus "LIFE is killing me..."
3. Like Rush Limbaugh, he's a staunch conservative, and he wanted to talk about how good books and magazines were, and thus: "Life is killing trees..."
4. He loves honey, thus "Life is killing bees..."
5. He's an Ultimate Fighter, and is protesting the fines and fees they get charged when they kill another fighter in the ring: "Life is killing fees..."
6. His daughter actually won the National Spelling Bee. (I won't even say it)
7. He discovered a plot (on Valentine's Day, of all days) that his bride was trying to cash in on his insurance policy: "My wife is killing me..." (Yes, he kind of scallops the words "my" right into "wife," like those modern day worship leaders who tend to think that the congregations are all pop singers who understand syncopation).
