Whats the problem?! This always happens with artists!
I can assure you that I was one of the first ppl who liked the stereophonics and travis before they made it big (just shows you how crap they are now!).
Lets all bee thankfull that Damien is now having the chance to let his music be heard by all. If I get on the bus and here giggling school girls talk of his music then I will probably turn around and smile.
Just be proud that you were there first, as I can assure you that when he hits the big time, you'll love him even more
