Fogerty or Roger Waters

In Gene's defense, Terry Gross's questions have a tendency of being cringe inducing.

I note that basically the only people who think of Albini as an asshole are non-musicians. Bands I know who've recorded with him have uniformly great things to say about him (including types you wouldn't guess would be buddy-buddy with him: Low, Danielson Famile, etc.); it's just that he doesn't suffer spongers at all.

I think it's because Albini's upfront about things, doesn't beat around the bush (or is that Bush heheheh), that confuses people. There's a difference between frankness and being mean.

Sundar Subramian: Yes Thurston Moore really did that... in front of my very eyes.

Can't believe nice guy Jon bon jovi hasn't got a mention. I heard he signed skid row on one of those fifties style managment deals where he got 90% of the money. It included a confidentiality clause where if they ever spoke about he could sue for the rest. Also remember the feels like a saturday night song which came out at the height of grunge "somenights I feel like I might just blow myself away..". Next thing I know I see him on the cover of Hello magazine showing off his house in Malibu. If only you would, Jon, If only you would.

Daniel, could you leave a few more details about Mr. Moore, er, put it in context ?? This guy is art musics big public saviour to some people, so I think everybody wants/needs to know about this sort of behavior. I mean did he do this supposedly hidden from view in Eastern Europe ? Why ?

Hands down Gene Simmons. Did anyone hear his Fresh Air interview? What a complete fucking tool. And not in a good way.

GG Allin seems like he wasnt an asshole, seeing interviews and watching that movie, he just looked fucked up but didn't do anything that people either didn't expect / deserve.
