As much as Radiohead is a pretty solid band in an age of a bunch of shit in the mainstream, I can't stand Thom. He's such a pansy ass fake boy that it drives me nuts. He caters to 20 something liberal American college kids so blatantly that it's sickening, and it kind of deters me from their music.

Example: He only talks about American politics. He's contantly bitching about W., never once have I heard a word by him on Blair. Reason: America is where his fanbase is. He's clearly in the buisness for fame and money. He makes his songs easy to digest for Americans. Dollars and Cents. Great tune, but why not euros and pence, or whatever. Granted, he mentions those later in the song, but it seems contrived to mention foreign currency. At a concert, everyone started flipping out when he screamed "bring down the government" in No surprises, and he bowed to the crowd. That's just immature. Lastly, he raved about Michael Moore, and how brave he is. Come on, Thom knows well that eveyone of his fans is a Moore fanboy, and he's again just catering to them. In my own school, all the younger 20 something teachers like the guy, but the older liberal teachers realize he's full of shit. Thom constantly does shit like this, and it really irks me. Not to mention his phony I'm a tortured weirdo insomniac look he goes for. It's pretty obvious when he gets cover shots on Spin and all the other mags he ruffles his hair and tries to look like he's insane and sleep-deprived. I could say more, but I don't even feel like getting into it.
