Manipulating the "music industry", which has its share of problems, is one thing. When spun/phrased this way it can make it seem like a positive... "this guy is sticking it to the man!"
But in reality, he screwed venues, his band members, and others, and seems not to care that humans and small businesses were hurt in the process because "LOL music industry"
He got his 15 minutes of fame, his following will probably dwindle, and all for the small cost of his dignity/trustworthiness. It's pretty gross, honestly.
- GauntletWizard 8y agoHe doesn't have any dignity. He's a clear sociopath. It doesn't matter who he lies to, it doesn't matter to him who he hurts. Even the mild contrition that he displays to the reporter here is pure act : he knows that's what people want to see, so he puts on that show because it will help him. The sad part is that it will work. People will go see him for the guffaws. A few will convince themselves that he really is some sort of genius and that he deserves success - and that when he's treated as the pariah he is that it's an injustice they must correct. It's the Charlie Manson playbook, the Jim Jones Gambit. Exposure only helps him.
