Describing himself as the "original Lindsay Lohan," in the 304-page tell-all, the "Lucille" singer admits that he could have gone down a similar path of self-destruction. "The reason I took up photography is I would go do my show, and I would have this incredible high for an hour-and-15 minutes, then I'd have all day with nothing to do," he explained on "Anderson Live." "That's when you get in trouble. With people like Lindsay Lohan, first of all, it's become absolutely vicious, the tabloid journalism. They pay for pictures, and the worst picture you get, the more money it's worth. Having said that, you're still responsible for your own life. I never drank, never smoked, didn't do a lot of drugs. I did some."
Kenny recalls one drug-induced night which, while now a funny memory, was proof he was quickly heading down a dangerous path. "I smoked pot one night, and I decided to talk on stage," the Texan recalls. "I thought I was great. I was having the time of my life, and I came off the stage and the guys in the band said, 'What were you talking about when you went off on this thing about the zoo."
"[I said] What? Why would I have done that?" he recalls with a laugh.
One thing that is not a laughing matter is his four failed marriages, which the singer-songwriter admits still causes him some pain. "I take the blame for it," Kenny concedes. "It's a man's responsibility to protect that relationship and I didn't do that. I was too driven ... I can't say [I have] regrets because I don't know where I'd be if I hadn't done this. I could have been working at McDonald's. I regret the people I hurt along the way."
The entertainment icon has taken some flack over the years for his change in appearance after several plastic surgeries, but he stands by his decision. "It was a lot of money and a lot of time, and I thought, 'What the hell, I'll go do something,'" he explains. "Dolly [Parton] and I used to laugh about it. It was all for the sake of what I thought was looking better. I'm not sure what I'd look like without it, so I'm happy."
