my friends work with him. He's no goof to be around. He's a real thinker - seriously. His intelligence is not hollow. And his sense of humor is not a reaction or an escape; it's an extension of his intelligence. Great guy, family man. The guys for real.

"Resort" to comedy?
@karenhall85967 жыл бұрын
What's "his type"? If you've heard him anywhere else, you'd know he plays all different genres of music. But maybe he's not "resorting" to anything less than he wants to do because he's doing EXACTLY what he wants to do.
@askthehaz7 жыл бұрын
Yeah..."his type" is a net cast pretty wide.. he is amazingly versatile and if you knew anything about the industry he is living the best of both worlds doing exactly what he wants ... as it seems bc I'm not exactly on his speed dial. For me it comes down to this: I love his work and my family and friends enjoy it too!
@karenhall85967 жыл бұрын
Yup, my family and friends enjoy it, too. :) And we see him as extremely versatile. Too bad there are those who don't quite see it that way.
