Summary
He is America at its scrappy, brash, irreverent, soulful, ingenious best: as transcendent a cultural icon as Frank Sinatra, as adventurous a self-made billionaire as Mark Zuckerberg, as gifted a poet like Walt Whitman. As he reaches the half-century mark, logs thirty years as a recording artist becomes the genre's first billionaire reigns as an elder statesman in a field teeming with artists half his age.
