i gotta give these guys respect. they came up from nothing, showing that if you are persistent and talented(and lucky too) anyone can succeed. some of you negative jackoffs are so caught up in your own self righteousness that you cant give this guy any credit for giving back. i hate celebrity worship, i live in L fukn A and im sure a lot of the scum that are celebs dont give a crap about you or me any more than i do them. but people are all the same. rich, poor whatever. they are just people who are extremely popular or rich. its the av-joe who gives them attention. music moves us all. i like music in any form and if you create something that is marketable, then more power to ya! but if you make it big and still try to keep it real and DO something good................well that is the trait of a good person..truly. "small minds discuss other people; mediocre minds discuss current events; great minds discuss the past but truly great minds discuss ideas"
