Same thing happened with prog rock. Suddenly being a musician was somehow short of doing something considered important by the rest of the intellectual world. Drugs probably don't help either, as evidenced by what is clearly a bio chemical depression floating up through the comments. Though, this is only a theory. Rock stars want to be comedians. Comedians want to be rock stars. And eccentric artists accused of being genius' eventually want to be nobel prize winning physicists.

I'd always respected Cockbain for being so doggedly condescending, especially to consumers who demand humility from their artists. FSOL had the chops in the 90s to back up the hubris, IMO.

Having said that, the music in the clip still sounds great to me (video is dated but the music is the important thing for me). And I'm sorry but I thought 'The Isness' really sucked :( These guys have always been hideously egotistical and pompous.

U2 - 90s pre - "were a real band" Remember, they totally bought into every single point this fellow is making entirely. Entirely and exactly ... in spirit (oh thats kind of weak I know). Even better than the real thing, zoo tv, ... FSOL At the end of the day they had some interesting music and a computer animation of this fountain guy who has this like asteroid with tendrils come out of its head. That's really saying something!

Instead, they concentrate on being good musicians. A fine ambition to my mind.Good art never dates so much in such a short space of time.Lack of substance possibly? Personally I like FSOL, but this made me cringe so much I'm still tryimg to unwrinkle my skin.It looks like the pilot for Nathan Barley,before they decided on a less irritating lead.This has made me seriously question what I saw in them.Thankyou Maybe because Bluegrass musicians are’nt into pretentious artwank manifesto making.
