A wrongfully overlooked singer/songwriter of the 1960s-1980s. His songs always told stories making him one of the best story tellers of all time. He gave over half of the money he'd make to charities living by the philosophy "I play one night for myself and one night for the other guy." He started an organization called World Hunger Year to help stop people from starving. He didn't have a particularly great singing voice but the songs he sang more than made up for it.

"Because she's my friend." Larry said.
Like YOLO, carpin' all those diems underscores the finite nature of life, the importance of taking risks and not placing unnecessary strain on your tiny brain.
"That's because losers look stuff up while the rest of us are carpin' all them diems." - Summer - Rick and Morty (2013) Season 3 episode 2 "Rickmancing the Stone"
