With all due respect to JackT I'm prepared to declare that quote of the year.
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts

So does this mean that Ian wears underpants?

Sometimes you have to convince yourself of the lie, I suppose.
He calls his old voice cringe-worthy? Anybody who's heard him attempt the high sustained notes in Ocean Rain over the past several years knows what cringe-worthy is... and it ain't his old voice.
i prefer his post reunion vocal. his voice could be a bit anoying on the early albums whereas now it's matured into a good voice
A kite is a contract of glory
that must be made with the sun,
so you make friends with the field
the river and the wind,
then you pray the whole cold night before,
under the travelling cordless moon,
to make you worthy and lyric and pure.

What is the matter with you.

Is that the photo from his student I.D. card?

Then of course the R.A. phase soon caught on with other singers. James "Ra ra" Blunt was snapped out on the town. Asked about his new look, he couldn't resist name checking the great man himself. Blunt said "Ocean Rain was always my favourite album. Thorn of Crowns is a spiffing tune, what what."
