Interesting that you say that because, after years of admiring his music, I saw him live for the first time at Carnegie Hall this past January (or Feb?). Of course his music was great, but I was surprised by his demeanor between songs. I didn't necessarily read it as arrogance, but it didn't match the personality that I had imagined. I just shurgged it off as possibly what was going on for him that particular night, but your observation makes sense. As you say, the thoughts and emotions in his music is genius, though.
