I think he’s a victim of the whole “He’s Southern so he’s got to be a jerk” attitude. He’s done some really fine work to help people. And he’s made a buck or two too.

I like him. Not a big parrothead but I’ve seen him in concert, his music makes me smile, and we come from the same town so I’m proud of the homeboy. 😄

He's huge here. Parrotheads everywhere. Not a fan at all. But glad to hear he's on our side.

You know, Devil-May-Care artist that so many would like to be. Flier, pirate, raconteur, singer...I enjoy that so many enjoy and identify with the fantasy even if they can’t live the reality (and in part he doesn’t either). But he seems a good enough guy and he seems to love being him.
