One
positive thing about JD is that he is a great songwriter. He knows the style of
the band because he grew up listening to them.
One negative thing about JD is that he used to be an Elvis impersonator. That means the moves, the style, the voice and everything. So, he has to try his hardest to get out of that mood while in concert. When you watch JD in concert you can tell he still has the style of Elvis in him a little bit.
