Listen to Joe's wide-ranging conversation with Alec Baldwin on his excellent podcast Here's The Thing HERE. 

Joe talks about his career in the early days (and now)... His asthmatic childhood...  Dealing with schoolyard bullies... His influences... Songwriting... Recording... Life in Portsmouth, in New York, and in Berlin... The Grammy's... The heyday of the music video... 

And Alec tells a story about being a college student and approaching Joe at a restaurant in NYC's east village.
