This guy is such a joke!
He laughs all the way to the bank!
Oh look, everyone!! David Lee Roth is now calling himself Jason!!!
Jason, you wouldn’t know talent if it punched you in your fat mouth!
Sammy is one of the greatest singers/entertainers on this earth!
Alright dude…if he is a joke…..support and defend your position. Given his record sales, his business acumen and the fact that most musicians think he is a warm hearted and generous person….I am not certain you can.
What Scott said…
I like Sammy, I saw him live one time and he was very kind and appreciative of his fans.
Sammy has never been the best of anything. I’d guess he’d be the first to say that too. With that said, he gets it all and has a good time doing it. At this point in the game, kudos man. At least he doesn’t pump 2-3 bubble gum pop songs every LP like he used to(we all learn, right?). Again, Sammy gets it. And YES, many of us are still awaiting HSAS II.
