Why he might be annoying:

    At a Dave Matthews Band concert, he brought soul legend, Al Green on stage to perform 'Take Me to the River,' and the fans booed and heckled him off the stage.
    He, along with his band, Santana and No Doubt were branded 'racist' and 'genocidal' by Rock For Life, an anti-abortion group, because they support planned parenthood (Rock For Life believes that Planned Parenthood inflicted 'racist and genocidal attacks against minorities').

Why he might not be annoying:

    He supports Planned Parenthood.
    His band founded an independent record label with the intent to promote artists and reinvest the profits to promote more artists (their first signed artist and now platinum success is Welsh folk-rock musician, David Gray).
    His cultural upbringing ranges from Johannesburg (South Africa), New York (USA) and Cambridge (England).
    His mother protested South Africa's apartheid government.
    His father died of lung cancer when he was ten years old.
