NO definately not. I really believe hÃ*s tortured artistic side has a lot of integrity in it. His struggle with relationships all his life and his need to work with that in his music is clear. His quirky-almost overthetopquirkiness on solo-albums- side has always been something the rest of the band thought was problematic and obsessive. And it WAS. That whole "I wanna be a big star too, but as a genius weirdo that is a big ARTIST- not only an icon-"-attitude is really him, not a joke or a play. It even has an aggressive side. Pathetic? Maybe. But it has brought to me the best music I know. So I take him as he is. Selfindulged and whiney but soft, intelligent and very original too.
