When in fact my main shake of faith is the thought that this "persona"
wasn't true. Its like someone gives you medical advice, and you find out they weren't really a doctor at all. You'd be irate, no? If you found your doctor working at a shoe shop one day.
You know, I don't consider myself a particularly "tough" critic. I can watch a bad-mediocre movie and be largely positive about it (not always the case, but bare with.) Perhaps I'm a bit more scrupulous with music. It does take a bit much for me to really get behind a whole band. But my "requirements" aren't too tough: have good songs and don't be full of shit -- and the last one can be fenagelled a bit. Not every song on MM is "perfect" but the songs are still great.
Now to say that Uki's guitar is nit-picky is really reaching. If that's the case, the entire forum was nit-picky at a point =P
Has anyone watched School of Rock, with Jack Black? The way he talks about music and rock is pretty much exactly what I believe. The writer mighta called me up, asked me about music, then educed amnesia in me, because its the truth. His character is a loser, no one takes him seriously, he's not a guy that people take very seriously. But what happens in the end? He doesn't win, but he makes somethin' happen. And that's what it's all about. (Its a good movie too, and don't
even argue that. =P)
