Frankly, I haven't been able to stand him ever since he became the
poster child for White Boy Blues.  As for his more recent material,
especially the acoustic stuff (like that castrated version of Leila),
well, to say that I find it torturous to listen to would be an
understatement.  All you'd need now is get Phil Collins to sing
for him, and I'd be in musical hell.
