The pride of Passaic, New Jersey; a champion for whiney white pseudointellectuals who want to sound like Ray Charles. A guy with a degree in English literature who plays piano like the great hard bop soloists of the 1950s. His admitted influences include Vladimir Nabokov and Thelonious Monk. He's the greatest thing to happen to American popular music since Cole Porter or Brother Ray himself. An electic, who fashioned original music out of an unlikely bricolage.
Tomorrow I will be wearing his image on my t-shirt as I scream wildly when he takes the stage.

I'm not a fan. I'm an acolyte.
Big difference.
I think the difference is the flavor of the Kool-Aid.
