^^^ I don't know that call him a "genius" either... he has a weird "doomsday prepper" vibe about him.

He's tough to measure... I'm thinking very high functioning ASD maybe. He's a talented oddball, but waaaay out there. I think what he says and does and sings are only a tiny glimpse of his inner kookiness.

That said, I love his work with the Dead Kennedys (lukewarm on his more recent stuff, tho' -- he and East bay Ray need to make up).

I love his lyrics and his voice (harrowing vocals are kind of my thing it seems -- Gordon Gano of Violent Femmes had a voice that is the quintessence of this, at least to my ear).

Jut wondering what in particular made you think he was an idiot? I think he's more crazy than stupid, but its a fine line to be sure.

Anywho, here's what I've been listening to: Linton Kwesi Johnson

More LKJ...

Also, watched Nick Cave's new film... pretty good. I get that guy.

Anyway, new and then old:

He's getting a little "Roger Water-y" in his old age, still, really good shit.

Older song from "From Her to Eternity" below... also, check out The Birth Day Party, his first band, if you can find it...

Of course ol' "creepy drawers" had also got me listening to some Damned...

Machine Gun Etiquette is one of my favorite albums, FWIW.

Have gotten to se them twice live -- they are still awesome.

I have a very good friend who is a HUGE Damned fan, but all of their later overwrought too many ruffles and sad feelings is un-listenable to me.

How do you go from Ball Room Blitz or Rabid to Grimly Fiendish (retch) or Alone Again Or (dry heave).
