   I'm not over rating him at all. It's your usual nay-saying   
   and not a fair assessment.   
      
   The kid has talent. Period.   
      
   And I've seen plenty that don't.   
      
   And when I say "Talent" I include one of the most elusive   
   "Talents" of all:  He has a presence.   
      
   He does.   
      
   I've been a judge for WAY too long, it's been my job to   
   spot these things and I spot it. The kid has a presence.

   Dude, they were 40 years ago. Boston has had a HUGE Ska   
   scene for decades. Of course I know about them! I knew   
   about them more years ago than I care to remember.   
      
   But your "Argument" doesn't make sense. "I like this   
   ban from 40+ years ago, so this kid can't be good today."   
      
   Wrong. They're two different eras, representing two   
   different generations.   
      
   This kid is today!
