I feel you there!

A man of good taste, also a Tori Amos fan, so I can't fault him there either.

No kidding right? I was not expecting that from him at all.

HAHA! Sweet, he mentioned Into Eternity.

That was a pretty sweet interview, I now must hear more of their music.

Makes me want to get more indepth into it.

I nearly fell out of my chair when he did! They're a great band.

I enjoyed that interview *and* the Strapping (Devin Townsend) interview (linked in the Dew Scented interview). I think I'd read the Strapping interview before, but I'm not sure. It was still good, though.

Interesting thing, Devin seems so ambivalent about his music and his place in the world. It bums me out a little bit because I think that Devin really has something to offer people and that it's a gift he should share. I dunno, though I guess if it doesn't make him happy he should do what he wants. But, still, the last thing Devin is is an idiot, as he says in the interview. I think that's silly. He might not be the smartest guy in the room, but he's above average, at least. I think it's healthy to know how much you don't know. But, realizing that shouldn't be misconstrued to be idiocy, either.

Or I could just fuck off.

Anyway, thanks for the interviews, Karma.

Thanks for the compliments, happy you enjoyed both interviews.

I agree with you 110%, Devin is brilliant and was saddened by his comments. Perhaps he was having an off night thus the cold. Perhaps he was feeling his mortality due to his illness and was down due to the tour as well. There are several factors that could have potentially led him down that road BUT fact remains he is above the average joe. It's uncanny that he does not view it that way. His ambivilance re: music/touring was rather interesting as well.

I always find him an interesting case. He never ceases to amaze me. I too think it is healthy to admit your faux pas and what you don't know, creates more thirst to obtain the knowledge you don't possess or at least in my opinion.
