    You have been able to maintain being a unique individual amongst your peers. You are still an individual who thinks for yourself, you’re not trying to be someone else. You’ve all found and kept yourselves. And you all color your music with your life. It’s a pleasure and honor to watch you guys soar.

    You literally saved my life, not once but a thousand times. I would love to hug you one day, and I think you’ll feel the immense impact you’ve had on me. If you weren’t around, I would feel very alone. Thank you for sharing your pain, struggle, and most of all, love in your art ❤

    Always enjoy hearing him speak. Not many people ask him about being a Dad. Totally appreciate the effort he puts in. From observation, I know being a good parent is hard work. I have the greatest respect for one of my dearest friends for being the best Mom I've ever met. Her mantra.... "You don't get a do-over."

    Thank you so much for sharing your story/your life, you are so inspiring through your music almost every song on every album hits home for me in many ways. This last year when you were in Casper Wyoming i brought my fiance to your concert, it was his first concert ever and he does like your music like i do but was afraid to be at a concert thinking differently. And when you addressed the audience with your friendly encouraging words, my fiance just gasped in awe!! He had no idea you were like this and it greatly impressed him. He was so surprised and of course a fan for life. Mainly because hes had his own addictions and circumstances in the past and you really hit home with him ❤️ so for this i thank you so much for that and for caring!! You are an amazing person.

    Brent, this video was amazing to watch. To see such an open and Frank dialogue of your struggles and how you continue to deal with them is fantastic. My eldest son is in recovery, it has been a real struggle as a family. But we are so so proud of how amazing he is doing in such a short time. We will be seeing you again in Glasgow end of this month and cannot wait although it will be first time he is in a licenced premises and a gig sober. So it will be a real challenge but one im absolutely certain he can overcome! We are bringing my youngest son for his first ever gig too and we cannot wait! Thanks for this video and thanks for your music 🤘

      ​@northstarmn If you believe in God then there is the devil they go together. If you don't believe that then that is just the voice in your head telling you to be bad or do bad things. The devil means different things to different people & that is what their song Devil is about.
