So glad that George is alive and back on the stage again! He is truly a super talented singer song-writer of our times.

Think he'll always be remembered for his restroom trolling.  Somehow singing in an opera house doesn't seem to outdo that.

I remember one great song he did in the 80"s then he was arrested at a rest stop bathroom and that"s about it.  Why do we care about him today?
