I personally like his music. I appreciate his song writing ability. I read an interview a few years ago where he was talking about attending a fund raiser for his friend, an NFL quarterback and his wife who had a child born with a disability. I can't articulate the emotion he evoked in the article but in a nutshell he said "I make music, I am famous for it but it doesn't mean crap. what matters is what challenges others face without complaining or giving up. That grounds me and I'll never forget that" I thought that was pretty cool. He just doesn't take himself that seriously
