Actually, yes, I have :)  It was after one of his concerts that I went to just before shipping to Basic Training a couple years ago.  When he found that fact out and that I was headed out, and was going to be (and am now) a combat medic, he seemed so pleased and told me about how his brother-in-law was a medic in Vietnam.  Which I knew that already, but  actually *talking* to him about it was just….wow.  I got a huge hug from him, and it was THE most PERFECT way to head out :) 

I’ve been to a couple of his concerts since, and he is truly one of the most genuine people on the face of the planet.
