Haven't finished it yet, but I like what I've read thus far. A multi-platinum artist, he's been recording for 25 years and just had his first top 10 hit 2 years ago. And I think that's about how ling I've been listening to him, I saw him in concert, IIRC, for Like A Surgeon in the early/mid 80's.

The concert apostate mentions attending 9 years ago - that was one we went to together, as the last part of our honeymoon :D
