I remember one show in particular, I had no problem getting a seat right down front, maybe four feet from him. Tried to buy a CD from him after that first show and he had run out and had to go get more out of his trunk. The final time I saw him at Eddie's, I could barely find standing room in back. The next time I saw him, he was playing an outdoor show in Athens to 20,000 people or so. And not too long after that, he was breaking the Centennial Park attendance record with India Arie.I'm less of a fan these days, as he seems determined to be crowned King Douche, but he is the reason I met my wife, so I'll always have a certain affection for him.

He played 3 cover songs (Inxs - "Never Tear Us Apart", Bill Withers - "Ain't No Sunshine" and Bob Dylan "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright") along with Who say, Half of my Heart, and finished off the show with Why Georgia. It's cool knowing I was one of only 274 people that could get in! It was an amazing show.

We ended up getting beers at Taco Mac instead. Wish we lived closer. As soon as I saw his tweet I grabbed my roommates and rushed to Decatur from Buckhead but the line was too long.

He told me his plan was to be signed within the year and the first thing he would do was to buy a big house for his parents. We all thought he was just naïve....
