My husband and I watched it Sat night and I had forgotten that he was narrating it.  Yes it was sometimes distracting from the music but we enjoyed his commentary.  He lets you into his world a little and gives you some background on how he got to where he is today.  This format does prevent you from really cranking up the volume because when he was talking it was way too loud.  LOL
I thought it was odd that he originally stated he went to NYC for art school but then later he tells you that he went to NYC to try to become a rock star... so which one was it John?
It really doesn't matter, I think he is an extremely talented writer, performer, and artist.  I am so glad that I discovered his music back in the early 80's.  Thanks for all the great years of music, some I liked, some I didn't especially care for, and then some that I got into years later.  I would definitely recommend watching this.

Finally got in, closet seat is Row C so didn't want to risk loosing it.  There are still about 5 or 6 more rows before you hit Row A.... so how is it that some people can get front row.. in my 20+ years I've never gotten that lucky.  Not complaing just jealous !  Have a great time everyone.

I cant even access the venue to get tickets!  guess too much activity all at the same time. Such a crock.
