Why he might be annoying:

    For his genre, San Diego is less surprising than it looks.
    He had a knack for poetry.
    He refers to his fan base as ‘Kinfoke’ (his spelling).
    One reviewer described his act as the love child of Kid Rock and Run DMC.
    He also went by such names as Hick Ross, Andrew ‘Mitchell Dick’ Keller, and Boss of the Sticks.

Why he might not be annoying:

    With as generic a name as his, you’d probably want to spice it up some, too.
    At the time he was in the high school marching band, he’d learned to play a number of instruments.
    Rolling Stone Magazine described his sound as ‘Walk This Way’ (stomping) ‘out of Queens and (ending) up in the rural south.’
    He admitted to being raised on Waylon Jennings and Jerry Reed on one end and the Beastie Boys on the other.
    He was instrumental in assisting Bar Rescue with the Bottles & Cans bar (previously known as MT Bottles, for Middle Tennessee, which had since closed).
