(My immediate mental response is, "So what?") The post could have stated, "I went to the store today." So is not necessary, any more than many of Stevie's wells. It's an odd habit, but not uncommon in Stevie's live performances. There's a strong well in The Dance's "Sweet Girl" that seems to call the listener to attention.

Ok...who wants to count the number of "you know" (or "ya know") in just about ANY live interview subject within the last 5-10 years?
At least, "well" is rarely misspelled, which considering the number of misspelled words here on the Ledge, is remarkable.
