well... for years i didn't like him because he's a bit old labour for my tastes. then i had new england stuck in my head all last week so i downloaded a bunch of his albums and realised that he's awesome. you just have to takehis politics with a pinch o f salt

his politics are a bit old school, though his more recent stuff is more modern thinking. and anyway, at least 50% of his songs are love songs so if you dont like the political stuff you can always just listen to that. I saw him live earlier this year, it was very good and his in between song banter was great, he is a very funny and eloquent man, if he is playing near wherever you live you should go along, it will probably be cheap too. I'm jealous of you just discovering him. enjoy :)
