anytime there is someone who gets a lot of attention for any reason, there is backlash. rdj does get too much worship, but it's not without cause. don't forget the origin of this list. don't forget who made this genre 'famous'. anytime there is someone with a strong personality, either people love him or hate him. (witness ben weasel in the now much talked about punk scene.) also, we all know what happens when an artist begins getting any recognition or fame. ken, if you're looking for flaws in his music you'll find them. sorry to say, the same goes for yours. i just hope it's really his music you dislike, and not the fact that he's stealing the spotlight. he's semi-famous because of his tall tales and antics, not his music. that's true. but i heard his music before i heard of him, and it stands by itself. the gossip and myth is just what makes being a fan so fun.
