I still can't believe I saw him live. It will be one year in October. I remember the build up too it. It was gift/privileged to see him. Everyone in my family listens to him, I'm the 3rd generation. Everyone saw him and my mom joked about I was going to be Dorthy from the Golden Girls cause she said she was going to die with out seeing Frank Sinatra. However, I saw him! Man I did not want to leave that arena. Every song blew me away. What a show. He had video clips behind him when he played and I saw some familiar faces; Bruce Lee, Joan Collins, even Spongebob.
I have saw interviews and he evens listens to the same people I listen to Fleetwood Mac (Sang 2 possible 3 of their songs), 2Cellos, Jimi Hendrix.
I have every album. My favorite is his debut (very underrated).
