For the record, Jason's songs don't appeal to me much...however, I have a great deal of respect for his success as a songwriter. He's not a one-trick pony...he writes for different specific markets and hits the mark that is being asked for. In fact, he is very good at that.

Personally, I prefer to listen to Dylan. But if Blume and I were in a competition to write the next hit Adult Contemporary Pop song, Jason Blume would whip the poop out of me.

Still, he was a fool to eat cat food.
