dan's music is too beautiful to be a top 40 'hit'...his music is for people who LOVE music....rather than people who just get force fed crap on the radio.....dan is my personal number 1...as im sure he is to many people.....which is more important than beging in everybodys top 40

I love this guy. He gets rich off his music and what does he do with his earnings? Goes to half-price books and cleans up on VHS tapes. Exactly what I'd do.
