I wonder if you could settle an argument for me. Having been a great fan of yours since I first heard 'Rescue Me', I have always believed that your second name is pronounced the same way as one would pronounce ass, as in the donkey. However I have heard others pronounce it as barrse as some southern english people would. Can you settle this argument for me.
