He's more Dylan than Dylan, more Rodriguez than Rodriguez. He's worth more than gold and is just as essential as breathing.

With everything that is coming down the pike, it's great to have these moments of cheer and musical delight. Thanks for another smile and such a fantastic song. Absolutely love this stuff!
I mean, I've been thinking the same thing. AI can write a song for you in 10 seconds, just give it certain parameters and you can have lyrics to a song in less than 30 seconds. I want to believe he's this prolific at songwriting but AI has ruined my trust in what is real artistry these days. He definitely has talent though! He's still performing these songs regardless of whether they're 100% him or not!
Jesse never stop speaking your mind. You’re singing things lots of people think, but most don’t have the means to formulate their thoughts, let alone the means to broadcast them as you do. Thank you
When you understand it, it brings tears to your eyes. There are so many people who have not paid attention for the past 8 years and we are so going to suffer for it. But we can't help it because we have to work 12 hours a day just to survive. It's all by design.

Man does what Tolstoy and Dylan and all those greats did- manages to capture the exact contemporary moment mixed into the timeless sweep of humanity at the same time. Wow!
Jesse, the next 4 years are gonna' give you so much god damned material to write and sing about, it'll be friggin' crazy. You're helping be a voice for all that otherwise feel powerless to be heard or make a difference. And if only for THAT reason, I'm looking forward to all of your brilliant work yet to come. 👊😊

I love this too, and Jesse thanks again for writing all these wonderful songs. I also wanted you to know that I really appreciate the nod to Mitch Hedberg, One of my favorite comedians of all time, I mean I used to, but I still do too😂🤘
I've been listening to stripped down singer-songwriters for about 20 years now, and I can't think of anyone even close to as talented as Jesse in ability to churn out insightful, catchy, Bob Dylan-esque tunes with such regularity. It's astonishing to see. Keep it up, Jesse. Love every bit of it. Your lyrics are as provocative as they are fun and witty.

I was gonna mention the Mitch Hedberg reference, but then saw your comment. I was like "that sounds like a Mitch Hedberg joke" and looked it up.
I've always admired the singer song writer, using your god given talent to make statements on the state of our society, please keep up the good work
i used to love Mitch Hedburg.
i still do, but i used to, too.
Brilliant. You don’t get in trouble for lying, you get in trouble for telling the truth. Viva Jesse Welles.
:Free-people-don’t-care-what-others-think.
I'm so weirdly comforted, listening to these discomforting songs. You're a Voice Jesse.
Yeah, he puts down words that could have come out of the meat grinder of my brain, but the lighthearted and melodic delivery is therapeutic for me.
Yes. That explains what I’ve been thinking for months! Weirdly comforted by these discomforting songs. Thanks.
