No way! I wrote a song called "Dirty City" too. Only mine's not as good as Steve Winwood's obviously... That guy is pretty awesome. He came to a festival here in Sonoma, California. I was a volunteer backstage, and he was the coolest guy there. Some of the musicians had weird requests, like "festival staff cannot make eye contact" (seriously!) But Mr. Winwood was hanging out in a lawn chair outside the backstage area... like just in the grass chillin. We need more cool musicians like him. When he's onstage he plays four parts at once on the organ, rhythm part with the left hand, lead part with the right hand, bass part with bass pedals, and he sings... I was impressed. He played that song "Bring me a higher love" and people loved it, haha
