Alas, my life, my lover, my lady is the sea.

All's I gotta say is, "St. Elmo's Fire (Man in Motion)" better win this bitch.

"The Bed's Too Big Without You"

It's probably easier for me to list reasons he's not a raging douchecanoe, as that'd be one tiny ass list.  A good starting point might be this several-year-old thread about him (and others) started on the Straight Dope Message Boards (specifically, post #3): http://boards.straightdope….
