dont know where his home town is, but assuming its detroit, I remember some rumor of him saying he would not play in detroit for a while because about 10 people showed at the last show he'd played at in detroit (I was there, it was great music but he was obviously annoyed about the promotion and turnout, and rightfully so. )
