I met Jesse at the Nashville airport, carrying his Gibson acoustic. He was the only person in the gate reading a real book instead of staring at a phone.
Jesse Welles is the Jesse Welles of our time
Jesse Wells is 1. a great musician, 2. a well-educated and well-read man. 3. a sweet, soft soul. He gives me hope for the future.
Jesse seems like a very good listener. Quiet, patient, and extremely perceptive. I am impressed. Mr. Welles has a huge soul.
This kid is something special that doesn't come around very often.
Jesse Wells is one of the few people who manages having an actual spine while remaining humble . I respect the hell out of this man
"What is more noble than letting someone live" Jesse Welles
I never listen to JR but came for Jesse. Can Joe just stay quiet for two seconds and let his guest talk? I can sit through the interview because of it.
I wish Jesse was the centre of this conversation...
I don't usually like Joe Rogan but I like Jesse Welles so here I am lol
