I'm a fan (and you should be too) because...his words speak out and reach people; I can identify with numerous phrases, written here and there, scattered throughout his songs. His songs can bring me comfort at times, while at other times Ia'll play a random song of his and then I don't feel so alone.
Most people probably listen to his music for the rock sound(which I love oh so much),and wanna get down all hard core and s***, wondering what the hell I'm even doing on this site, All I have to say is I love great music, the sound as well as the lyrics. I wanted to print some of the lyrics off from the songs I connect to. So that's what led me here.
