I didn't even know who Van Hunt was before he posted his blog, but how
dare he say that Prince is not a song writer. Get over yourself Mr.
Hunt!

Right. I didn't say there were none, I'm just saying that I haven't
met
any. I have also never been to a Van Hunt show. And to be honest, I
have
been to many a show because my wife (or former girlfriend back in
the day)
was really into some artist and wanted to see him perform. Maxwell and
Babyface come immediately to mind. No WAY would I care enough to go
see
those guys by myself or with a crew of friends. But every time I go
to an
Omar show, for example, I see a lot of my male friends there. My
wife and I
both enjoy Omar's music, and we know many people who don't like him.
We're
all grownups. If you don't like a singer, so what. It's about
enjoying the
night out.
But when it comes to buying a CD, or downloading some tunes, Van Hunt
doesn't do it for me, and apparently, there are a few people on the
internet
who agree with me. Someone, though, thought Van was good enough to
sign to
Capitol and send an advance check to. This isn't some struggling
indie
artist that 'needs our support' or anything like that. This is a
dude with
two albums. Someone thinks Van is good enough to go pay and see.
That's all
that matters. I think Van's taking himself too seriously, and,
again, is too
emo to be funky.
