Exactly. Music is a very subjective thing, and the "party songs" that he loves so much and is known for are god awful pieces of trash. And that's being nice.

What a piece of shit. I've never bought one of his records and never will. I hope his fans boycott him for this. He's supposed to be a role model and he pulls this ridiculous childish bullshit.

IJ Quinn is also playing the Chicago date. I don't know much about him, but I know some of my friends love it. I'm thinking about going to check out Mark Rose, I haven't seen him solo live yet.
