I do!
His mother was at my sister's wedding. Long story but completely true. Told us that Christie Brinkley was pregnant before the press knew.

I saw him in concert back in the 70's when he was big. Great show!

I'm not a big fan, but he has good stuff. Lots of the stuff I like are the songs that don't make it on the radio. At least I think. Like "You were the One" and "Sometimes a Fantasy" and a few others.

Sorry, I simply cannot suppress that urge to be a smartass sometimes.

Yeah, he's pretty good. His tunes sometimes are a little more "pop" than is my preference, but his lyrics are head and shoulders above the caliber of most in any musical style - pure poetry in a number of instances.
