yeah, love the guy. grew up on LI. first time i saw him was MSG in 1983 or 84. man, he blew that place apart. one funny note. that song downeast alexa, was written (mid 90's?) about the plight of LI east end fisherman. thought that for years. when that song came out, he was even arrested with some local east end fisherman on LI seine netting stripers, to show his support for their cause. fast forward to 2006, hartford civic center. i saw him in concert, loved him.....he talked about how that song was written "for his friends on the vineyard"....shoot if you listen to the words he talks about, montauk, block island sound....go figure. i guess depending on the venue, the credits change! the yankee stadium live dvd is a blast, check it out if you can.
