This song honors my late wife, Dee Dee, who was "Salty Sweet"—a rare blend of fierce strength, compassion, and love. I always joked that I picked her from a vending machine because she was exactly what I wanted. The song explores the classic "nice guy vs. bad boy" dating stereotype. Instead of simply complaining, the song tells the story of a nice guy convinced he must be a jerk to attract women. His plot fails as his good-nature rejects his ability to carry out this manipulative persona. He resigns himself to being alone and a fool. Ultimately, he finds a woman who’s "salty-sweet" and loves him for who he is - proving to him that a “Nice Guy’s Not a Fool”. This song also draws from conversations Dee Dee shared with her best friends, Lolo and Shasher, looking back on their youth chasing "bad boys," only to grow up and realize the true value of a nice-guy who treats them right. I love and miss you Dee Dee.more
