Dear Jon
Here's what it is: When I listened to his music, I didn't feel like a loser. I felt like a character in an epic poem about losers. You felt like there was possibility. That here is a guy who grew up like you grew up and had that same feeling of "I bet if I just fucking get in the car and drive, there will be an opportunity for something different and better - an opportunity to be something that I want to be."
Plus, you would go to see his show and he would blow your fucking mind for hours. At a certain point you'd want to go up onstage and be like, "Guys! It's OK. I got my money's worth two and a half hours ago. Save yourself! I don't want you to burn out. You're giving us too much! We do not deserve what you've done here tonight! A lot of us are jackasses!"
