A multi-talented, classically trained composer, he has made an immeasurable contribution to the state of popular music. Although his critics may fault his sophomoric lyrics, no one can argue with his remarkable gift for composing striking melodies.
His fans number in the millions – he is especially popular in Europe, where his music is studied in conservatories and analyzed in universities. As befits his genius, he is a man constantly on the move, an outspoken musical dynamo forever dashing between projects, composing music for his latest album, writing Broadway musicals starring life-sized puppets, or counseling son Dweezil and daughter Moon (of "Valley Girl" fame) about their musical careers.
Songwriter Connection caught up with this remarkable man on a recent morning for a rambling, uninhibited, and outrageous conversation.
