On the tv program "Inside the Actors Studio", when the host, James Lipton, asked Billy Joel about paying homage to certain songwriters' style when he wrote his song "Downeaster Alexa" Billy replied, "Yes, I was thinking of Pete Seeger...Pete Seeger, Gordon Lightfoot."

Not exactly a verbose tribute...but a tribute just the same.
