In 1968, Loudon Wainright III started writing the songs of an angst-ridden 22-year-old. Now, a dozen LPs and hundreds of songs later, he's still at it - though now they're the songs of an angst-ridden 43-year-old. He talks to Mark Steyn about these documents of sex, despair and life on the road, undercut by gallows humour. He sings some, too.
