Why he might be annoying:

After losing a paternity suit, he paid off $24,000 in child support by going to Branson and impersonating his grandfather (1997).
He is heavily tattooed.
During a dispute with his label, Curb Records, he wore 'Fuck Curb' t-shirts.
His 'Straight to Hell' was the first major-label country record with a parental advisory sticker.
He had a feud with Waylon Jennings' son, Shooter.
He checked into rehab over his drinking, but walked out in less than a month.

Why he might not be annoying:

He looks so much like his grandfather that when he met Grand Ole Opry veteran Minnie Pearl, she exclaimed, 'Lord, honey, you're a ghost.'
He urges fans to buy his albums from independent stores instead of Wal-Mart, since the chain censors records.
He usually does a three-part live show: a traditional country set, followed by a psychobilly set, then a mix of metal and punk rock.
He said about playing at the Grand Ole Opry, 'It's cool, all the history, but I'd rather play a bar full of drunks, though, it's a lot more fun.'
When asked for a response after his dad got in trouble for dissing Barack Obama, he replied that most musicians are 'not worthy' of a political discussion.
