Country music fans are lucky that their favorite stars are almost always kind, warm and willing to sign an autograph, grab a photo and give them a quick conversation. There are exceptions, though, and you may have your own heartbreaking story of meeting an artist that was a little, or a lot, less than friendly.

Darius Rucker is doing his best to not be that guy. On the Bussin’ With the Boys podcast, he explained why it’s important to always give fans his time.

As fans, though, it’s important to remember that everyone has a bad day or a bad moment and maybe we shouldn’t be quick to judge based on one missed moment.
