I'm not sure if I formally was told this, but I always assumed he was Jewish.


Hm.

I never had reason to consider an artist's religion or lack of, and thinking back, have no memory of anything that would make me think he's Jewish.

I knew that bit about A&M, but that's the sum total of any knowledge outside of his music.
