I really like some of his stuff and I'm with (it seems) quite a few guys who see a huge and patchy output, but interspersed with some absolute gems.
His live work seems to also be patchy, a gig he did in Melbourne last time he was here was.... well, let's just say the term "tired and emotional"....

You'd think that a person whose name is one letter away from Bryan Adams and plays in public for living would have a better comeback? Maybe learn a few bars of "Cuts Like a Knife" or "Summer of '69" to shut him up? This surely can't have been the first time he had to deal with that...

Telakaster, I've heard that too, and I think perhaps a sense-of-humour implant is in order.
