Oh yes he does. He looks like Billy Baldwin.
Fortunately, with age, he's wisely decided to drop 15 minute political speeches from his repetoire. "For the Rev Martin Luther King... SING!" Somewhere, I gotta believe an true orator like King was turning to St. Peter and saying "Can you please fuck up that guy's career? Maybe give him some inspiration to try an industrial record or something?"
Nobody's done politics in music right since the Clash and Pistols. "When they kick out your front door, how you gonna come, with hands on your head, or on the trigger of your gun?" That's proper pop politics, not posing about the stage like some overwraught 15 year old in an art rock garage band crooning about a civil rights movement half a world away.
Now that I've exhausted that soapbox...
