well i think there's something to be said for the notion that it must really be psychologically--i don't want to say "painful" because who knows--altering to be such an "it" person for a brief period of time and coasting on something that really isn't going to last, and then going back down to earth. i'm sure it's weird to know that your apex of fame has come and gone (though i guess it's only harmful if you care too much about that fact!)

I would like to read more interviews with hip people five years after anyone who once had, stopped giving a shit about them.

two years pass...

I was recently called out on Twitter about this thread. Suffice to say, back in the late 90's through early 2000's, I expressed a profoundly ill-advised selection of roundly ill-advised, insensitive and objectionable comments here, usually couched within the frequently missed understanding that I should not be taken so deathly seriously.
Some people may have gleaned as much, but others did not. It is certainly not a a testament to my abilities to convey my genuine points that my venom and bluster was so routinely taken at face value. Moreover, I was probably frequently inconsiderate, unthinking and impulsive about the things I contributed here.
In short, I was a callously unthinking dick quite a lot of the time. Having big opinions about things shouldn't give one license to behave like I did, and I was out of line on more than a few occasions, this thread being just one of them.
In any case, I believe I penned a mea culpa on my blog some years ago to the same effect but it bears repeating. I am sorry. I did not mean any harm. I was foolish and stupid. I sincerely apologize to Ultrragrrl, Scout Niblett and any number of other targets i singled out for spleen-venting.
I regret it all.

"I expressed a profoundly ill-advised selection of roundly ill-advised.."
Awful.
One more thing on this: i used to blithely suggest that no one's day should be ruined by something they read on a public forum about music, as if that was some shiny badge that enabled me to be callous, boorish, pig-headed and insulting. Well, that's a pile of crap, and I again apologize. Regardless of the subject matter of a discussion, there's never an excuse for being a belittling jerk. I was and am that jerk, and I apologize again.
