- with his songwriting, he can blow away everyone else in the music business, who think they are "real" songwriters *snort*
- when he realised he'd practically sold his soul to the Devil (pun intended) to become a famous (via the synthpop hit "Kiss Me") in the '80s,
he gave it all up to start a band with his brother (thank goodness!)
- he is a man who is not afraid of being sentimental and revealing his feelings, unlike most of the male population on this planet
- he is too humble and soft-spoken to be a rock star
- nearly every one of his songs tells a story, usually personal, and it doesn't bother him to express these things about his nature
- he has the ability to be cheeky at one moment, serious in another, romantic in another, sarcastic in another - he's a Dylanesque chameleon I tell ya!
- he has a loyal underground cult following devoted to him and his music, and his albums are almost all critically acclaimed
- somehow or other he had the good luck and foresight to keep a tape of early Duran Duran in storage all these years
- he has a better relationship with his older brother than most people (yours truly included!)
- he does not lead the life of a pampered rock star, and seems very happy with the current state of his affairs
- he has no problem playing the romantic fool
