    Unfortunately, I've not only heard most his songs, but I've actually
played one of them (by request; the request being backed up with the business
end of a broken beer bottle).  But yes, I'm sure he's real proud - not so
much of being the son of a god, but of the fact that he's been able to
sustain his music career without any visible talent.
