fasstrack Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 3000 words spoken here. What a beautiful, wise, humanitarian of a person. What an open, adventurous player. He recently got me when he said in an interview that his favorite version of "Smile" was Jerry Lewis's ballad b/c "You know he felt it after the man lost his looks and everything". Absolutley the man I wanna see when passing through Chi-town. And in anticipation of you wiseacres' JL comments: "LAAAAAAAADDDDDYYYY!"
