Dwight wasn’t exactly a huge name in music, probably a contemporary of other names I could list right now in the singer/songwriter vein: Marshall Crenshaw, Graham Parker and Paula Cole. Maybe you recall his biggest hit with the general public, “Girls” in which he got an assist via the chorus with Tom …ugh! Petty. There was more to him than that song. I started out with a greatest hits of his about a decade ago when the price was right and then picked up stuff from time to time. “I’m on Fire” is a better place to begin.
Thanks for everything Dwight. You may not have been U2 famous but you still earned a place in the soundtrack of my teen years and beyond!
