I am a fan (and you should be too), because...the band and Chris are staying true to themselves! It is very hard to find men who become famous and still remain down to earth. When I met them in St.Charles it amazed me just how "REAL" these men were. I had brought pics of my kids for them to sign and they smiled and signed them. A few comments were made that just meant so much to a 33 year old married mother of three. My baby is only four months old and I dont have that self-esteem I use to have . I took four hours trying to think of what to wear ! I was so nervous. The smile from "Joey" made my year, and hugging Chris made my night! I have delt with the death of my mom (who was only 52) , the death of her mother nine months after that, then my hubby in the hospital , then my own health issues. The WORDS in the songs Daughtry does are very deep and mean something . I think anyone who listens to the songs can get a message from them to help them get through whatever it is they need. Until Daughtry I could not relate to a band , now I can and I think anyone coukd too ....thats why all should be fans!
