about two years ago i went to see bird perform at northwestern university, his alma mater. when he introduced "Why" he explained that it was his roommate in college who he wrote the song after. his roommate was apparently quite a partier (bird of course wasn't), and one time they began arguing about it. His roommate actually said the words to bird, "damn you for being so easygoing."
