Nice to see he takes time out of his schedule of yoga therapy and admiring trees to engage in pointless culture-bashing rants. Nothing more enlightened than jokes about PBR.

there are no guitar picks taped to the tall mic stand in front of him. He refuses to brush his fluffy mane of brown hair, writes his songs based off a feeling, and doesn't let a piece of plastic come between him and his chords.

"Hozier is also 6-foot-5. When he takes the stage at the Lincoln Theatre in Washington, DC, in March, wearing all denim and carrying a guitar that sparkles under the lights, he towers over the other members of his band."
Between this and all of the marketing for Tobias Jesso Jr. making a big deal over him being 6-foot-7, are we treating music like the NBA draft now?

a long, athletic true senior from arizona state, hozier has an explosive first move, but questions about his toughness and commitment to defense have scouts questioning his ability to be a true NBA wing. excellent at penetrating the lane, he needs to develop a go-to post move and improve his three-point shooting. still, his upside and his ability to play naked and without guitar picks should make him a mid-first round draft pick. playing in the right system, perhaps for greg popovich or t-bone burnett, he could develop into a solid rotational 3 in the league
