I wasn't a huge fan of his back then. I'm still not, to be honest, but I've really learned to appreciate his ability to craft a song. Just really underappreciated.
When I say "not a fan", I just mean that I wouldn't go out of my way to listen to him. But if he comes on the station, I'm not going to change it.
