Well if you haven't met him, how could you know if you like him or not. You can't believe what the magazines and inturnetz say about him.
I haven't met most people in the world.
I'm sure I can still believe what other people say of them when they are covered so well.
And besides, it's his music that isn't very good.
We don't have to be up close to hear it. I can listen to it on a computer and know that I don't like it.
