That's an interesting point Doug. First I think he is quite intelligent, but he has great perception into the human condition. For me, no one paints so graphic a character with so few words as he does and he also uses some phrases that evoke such strong images that I can relate immediately to what he is saying. Maybe its because I'm a bit skewed in my outlook as is he.....I dunno.........I know that I rarely have to read between the lines or look for "great symbolism" in his stuff. In most cases, its right out front in very few words. For me, that's genius.
