Why he might be annoying:

    Despite recording so many albums, he is a one hit-wonder with 'Cars.'
    When he was in school, he was so shy that he was considered an arrogant trouble maker.
    He wears a lot of makeup and dark clothing.
    His past albums and singles haven't had much success on the charts.
    On his only Saturday Night Live appearence, he jumbled the lyrics to 'Cars,' the one song you'd think he had nailed (February 16, 1980).
    His later albums angered religious fanatics and some of his more religious fans.
    His personal record label, 'Numa Records,' tanked and almost bankrupt him.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He recorded more than 30 albums.
    On Fear Factory's album, 'Obsolete,' he was a speaker and on some of Robert Palmer's albums, he played keyboards.
    His favorite song is 'Closer' by Nine Inch Nails.
    He likes to go go-karting, ride speedboats and go flying.
    Two of his albums, 'Replicas' and 'Telekon' made the number 1 spot on the album charts.
    He is skilled at using many different instruments and machines.
    He and his family personally run his website.
