Give me your opinion. I'll throw it on the "I don't give a sh*t" pile with Nea's.

I like Waits but I see very well where Hawk and Nea are coming from.

so regardless of their status as sellouts you're framing it wrong

**** didn't work out the way they wanted so they got their principles back? Those are some principles. If The Clash gave as much of a **** as they claim then they'd have either been Crass or wouldn't have wasted time in a rock band in the first place. Being in a political band is self-indulgent as ****.

I think Tom Waits is both a very transparent phony and a dude with a pretty stong aesthetic instinct. I think some of his material really hits a certain feel pretty spot on. I don't think he would deny that his whole artistic persona is entirely made up. He's theatrical, first and foremost. For me, it's just that his gimmick is as much hit as miss, but I get what he's going for.

I just don't see how a public persona automatically means phoney. That's like calling Andy Kaufman a phoney. Really? It's an act? No sh*t.

That reminded me of Jerry Springer’s final thoughts. Well said.
