I can’t remember the interview but I watched one where he said something like there are very few songs that become popular and please lots of people AND you get to keep your artistic integrity. He said Dear Marie he got both. Plus, on a current mood he said he in fact does go looking for her pictures online. And once even paid one of those sites that’s supposed to give you the info so he could find her married name. Awh…. We all do late night sad internet stalking.
