I, for one, am not a country music fan, so I turned to a friend of mine, also named Dan, who is currently a medical student in Philadelphia and is known for his taste in country music.
"I heard he is coming. He is good," Dan said via Facebook Messenger. However, he added, "I really don't listen to him."
There you have it. More information can be found here.
